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!)
I had a similar situation happening last year. I felt like I was being held up in the morning waiting to take attendance and lunch count or having to do these things twice because of the constant tardiness of one student. I did two things, I got the school counselor involved, who then got a social worker involved. I also took some grades on morning work that the student got an incomplete on because of her tardiness. The family finally got it together and the student was not tardy second semester. Maybe the grades need to suffer because of the lateness. |

| Comments: I think that a harder consequence is important for students and families to understand that the tardiness does not just affect the individual but all the students in the classroom. |
