My son, a senior, stays out of trouble, gets good grades, and is respectful. He’s got 6 tardies due to 3 minutes of total latenesses. He could get his driving privilege revoked. He just served a 3 hour detention for it.
On one occasion he was at the door when the bell rang and the teacher shut the door in his face. Rude, but ok. Now 2nd semester - he has a free first period but he has to turn over some index card for attendance before 8:20. He’s in early daily as he drives his younger sister. However, the teacher does not have these cards out early, so he has to go back to turn it over. He turned card over 1 minute late, so he was marked late. He believes she saw him, he told her he was there, but she did not care. Ok, fine, He does not recall being late the other 2 times.
I’m pissed and I think it’s unfair and inflexible. I think I should write the principal in case this continues so I can go on record disputing the last two tardies. Am I over-reacting? What would you do?
