Case: Late... Late... Late... Everyday!
This school year, I have two individual students who are late habitually. They both stroll in during our school-wide sustained silent reading time and interrupt the class by drawing attention to themselves and announcing they have to go back to their lockers or turn in a paper to another teacher. I have spoken to both students on an individual basis and asked for respect when entering the classroom; please go to your locker before you come to class as well as handing in any other papers to other teachers-come to class on time and ready. I have also contacted their parents. Both parents apologized and promised to get their child to school on time. Yet, they both still come in late (one with McDonald's in hand everyday).
My administration was trying to be hardcore with tardies this school year and made threats to give punishments for the students. I submitted the students names to my administration and they also contacted the parents and no change occurred. At this point in the school year, administration couldn't be bothered with a simple tardy. Now with a total of 63 tardies for the one and 42 for the other... I'm wondering if I should just forget about it because it is a losing battle. Any suggestions to encourage these students and parents to get their children to school on time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Very difficulty problem to solve. Although this is a problem at school, in reality, it is a parenting problem. I have also had this problem and tried talking to parents, the student and administration with no avail. Finally, after many conversations and rewards systems, we told the parent that the tardies were going to effect the student's grade. After that the parent made an effort to be on time. |

| Comments: I think that it is a good idea to have tardiness/attendance effect the student's grades. That is how it is with college classes and if you're late for a job too often you could get fired. |

| Comments: I think this is a great solution. If the administration isn't enforcing a punishment, it will be effective to enforce your own. Parents will react knowing there is a real consequence. |

| Comments: That many tardies should effect their grade. This is disruptive and gone on far too long without repercussions. |
