<p>Starting tomorrow:</p>
<p>1 tardy = Wednesday School (3 hour detention)
2 tardies = 1 day ISS
3 tardies = 3 days ISS
4 tardies = 3 days OSS</p>
<p>Ridiculous or what? I'm actually going to have to be on time to school ;(.</p>
<p>That seriously is ridiculous. At my school you need 6 tardies before you even get a detention.</p>
<p>haha same here. we have hallway "sweeps" where they try to catch late students and put them in detention. </p>
<p>would be nice if they put that much effort into really sweeping the halls...</p>
<p>k....what if there is an accident on the road, or something., totally out of yours and your parents control....</p>
<p>or with the weather....</p>
<p>I don't see this working if its not the students fault</p>
<p>at my school 1 tardy = 25 minute detention (but seniors do get a little leway from certain teachers. so they'll mark a tardy but we don't have to serve detentions)</p>
<p>but for the 4th tardy and every tardy afterwards = 4 HOUR Saturday School each tardy.</p>
<p>sucks here too.</p>
<p>Therefore if you forsee lateness..........hit the coffee shop and arrange for medical excuse? I mean what is this?</p>
<p>My school</p>
<p>You get a late pass and get marked late.</p>
<p>Yea, if I'm going to be late to school, might as well not go at all lol.</p>
<p>My school has a 3 tardy system.</p>
<p>1 Tardy- Verbal warning
2- Written warning
3- 2 days detention</p>
<p>if its just a few minutes, teachers usually let it slip here. It depends on the teacher though.<br>
Unexcused latenesses just show up on your report card, and I think if there are an excessive amount, like 10+, you get a detention though I think.
As long as you have a note though, and its before 2nd pd, you show it to your teacher and its excused, but teachers don't like it if it gets excessive.<br>
If its after 2nd pd, you need a note from the parent and depending on the reason its either excused or unexcused. If you are late after 2nd pd without a note 3 times, you get a detention</p>
<p>Mine is a detention for 1 tardy. and for each tardy after that double the previous amount. so 2 tardies is 2 detentions, etc. Detention is 45 minutes. I just got a detention for my shirt being untucked (Catholic school).</p>
<p>So, because of the new tardy policy, a whole bunch of kids decided to "protest" right after 1st block today in the courtyard.</p>
<p>They are all getting 10 days OSS or expulsion.</p>
<p>dangggg. is your school private or public? that's hardcore intense...</p>
<p>if you mean tardy to school in the morning before 1st hour, our school is just, go to the office and get a late pass and it counts as a regular class tardy.</p>
<p>class tardy policies per semester:
1st & 2nd: verbal warning
3rd until the 6th: 1/2 hour detention after school with the teacher per tardy
7th: saturday detention
10th: dropped from class</p>
<p>My school's pretty lenient. You'll always definitely be counted tardy on your record, but punishments are sporadic. An unexcused tardy is 1 point, an unexcused absence is 2 points. </p>
<p>If you get 20 points, you fail.</p>
<p>I haven't heard of anyone fail on absences/tardies</p>
<p>Our school is a suburban public school of about 3000 kids. Pretty diverse actually.</p>
<p>sounds draconian</p>
<p>I thought mine was ridiculous. You get 5 tardies and you get a referral and miss the class you are tardy in. Every tardy after that its the same result. It is refreshed every 9 weeks.</p>
<p>haha. wow.</p>
<p>technically speaking, we're supposed to get a detention if we're tardy 3 times. however, a "tardy" doesn't count if you have a medical-excuse note from a parent or doctor. also, my bus pulls into school late every day anyway, so the secretary just lets me slide. my school only gives out lunch detentions (as far as I know, anyway), and those are a joke -- you sit and you chat with the teacher there.</p>
<p>=-0</p>
<p>At my school, 9 tardies (or 3 unexcused absences) is supposed to get you dropped from the class... But the rule's not enforced too well, considering I was tardy almost every day to first period freshman year and to three different periods soph year. Unfortunately this year, my teachers actually care. =-\ They don't realize they're putting my life in jeopardy by making me go twice the speed limit.</p>
<p>One more reason to hate my APUSH teacher...</p>
<p>My school has no rule for tardies.
16 unexcused absences and you fail the class.</p>
<p>I find it's a hassle to get a note and have the teachers sign it and then take it to the office, so I just let the unexcused pile up. It's not like I'm going to miss 16 days anyway.</p>
