18. Alternative Late Policy


I do not believe we should lock students out of classes or the school because it takes away the chance for us to learn, which opposes what the rules intend to solve. The rule tries to instill fear upon students. However, this might not work for some people who just simply don’t care. If this is the case, the policy would only punish the parents, because students would just use t rules to find an excuse to not go to school.
I think an alternative for the school late policy is for students clean up lunch tables and floors if they fail to go to class on time for the first three times of every month. This way, teachers don’t have to spend anytime afterschool like they would have to do for detention. After the third time, however, parents should be contacted to notify them of the trend. However, in the case of being late to school, I think it is much more complicated with many more variables involved. Students should still be punished, but I would give them five chances until parents are contacted.
