Dear Administration,
I would like to propose a deal with you guys about the tardy policy. I feel like kids should be able to be counted as on time as long as they can get al of their work done before that class ends. The reason for this is because some kids can't control whether or not they are late and i feel like they shouldn't get penalized for that. I personally am one of these people and i find it pretty dumb that i get a low grade for being 5 minutes late to class, and yet i still get all of my work done and complete.
The tardy policy now is fine for classes during the day but i feel like for 1st period people shouldn't get penalized, one because its early in the morning and people either leave a little later and two because the class is only for 40-50 min. Tardy kids are sometimes labeled as being bad kids but some of them are actually really good kids and deserve a chance, but i also think teachers should have some responsibility and should be able to give certain people chances.
I feel like we shouldn't just give free excuses to bad kids who are never in class or never do any of their work. This is where the restrictions come into play. Teachers should be responsible for giving out people the passes on the tardies but should not just do it on their favorites. Teachers have to be truthful and honest with this task.
This is how i think we could change the attendance policy and make it a little more fair.
