tardy...

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>can someone help me on this
i got tardy for like the first time in my life
not only that but i was marked absent when i was merely "excused" from class for academic reasons which does not actually translate to being absent.</p>

<p>but my focus is tardies. if you get them (my school show them along with absent days) then what do top colleges usually think? like yeah ivy league but i mean good colleges in general</p>

<p>ugh please tell me quick cuz i'd rather know than get totally ticked off over my teacher who knows absolutely nothing about how our school works</p>

<p>Colleges are not going to look at your attendance record. They do not have time for all that.</p>

3

<p>They won't care if you got one tardy. Really, they have more important things to worry about.</p>

4

<p>I have two dozen...</p>

5

<p>man i have more than two dozen, but spread out over 3 years it's no big deal</p>

6

<p>They won't care. I'm sort of an expert on tardiness.</p>

<p>^ Same here. Now, they may start to notice if you have two dozen within one year like some of my friends, but they won't care if you have a couple here or there (which is pretty funny because today I almost got a tardy because I woke up at 9 when school starts at 7, but I just decided to stay home and miss the entire day today).</p>

8

<p>well, I'm like the one who should be the most worried about my attendence record and the possibility of colleges looking at it.</p>

<p>each year I get atleast 10 absences in each class lol, whether its a cut, or I was sick</p>

<p>Lololol at this thread.</p>

<p>um, last year I missed about ~ 20-25 days of school and more than 20 tardies (still maintained a 4.0 though :P) Each year a ton of absences and tardies. They really, really don't care. That would be silly.</p>

11

<p>Unless you're missing ALOT of class, everyone is human... IT might actually be a turn off if they so NO tardies at all.
Tardies happen every once in a while, so I mean it give the conotation that your human...which you are? right?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they don't even check if you are late to class. It's a trivial factor and as long as you have great grades in that particular class, you should be fine.</p>

<p>I have this really crazy physics teacher and he loves ruining student's attendance record. There was this one kid a few years back who had perfect attendance from first through 11th grade. He told our teacher this and he marked him absent. He was in class that day :P.</p>

14

<p>^ My friend hasn't missed a day since kindergarten. He loves gloating about that (especially since I miss like 5 every 9 weeks). He'd be so mad if a teacher tried that on him. Also his mom would be ranting about it and probably get the teacher fired for that.</p>

15

<p>I can't believe you'd even worry about that.</p>

<p>God forbid you ever get a detention. You're head might just explode. </p>

<p>It's just one late. No one's going to notice.</p>

16

<p>I really lol when I see cars with bumber stickers that say "My child has perfect attendance at Blah Blah Elementary." Perfect attendance means nothing and anyone who worries about it needs to get a life.</p>

17

<p>Yeah, I've never been big on perfect attendance either. My grades don't suffer from my absences and me missing days gives me a break when I need it.</p>

18

<p>omg..wow...</p>

19

<p>LOL, colleges don't care about tardies!</p>

<p>I cut class whenever I want and I'm sure colleges won't care.</p>
