Can we call you “RevNegHo” for short? Wait…that doesn’t sound right, does it? How ’bout just “RevNeg”? Or even better: “Unruly Brood”? :-)

And the ‘larm gives out a warning
I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time
By the time I grab my books,
And I give myself a look,
I’m at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
It’s alright ”cause I’m saved by the bell (4x)

If the teacher pops a test,
I know I’m in a mess,
And my dog ate all my homework last night,
Ridin’ low in my chair,
She won’t know that I’m there,
If I can hand it in tomorrow, it’ll be all right!
It’s alright, ”cause I’m saved by the bell (4x)

And I’m all for life lessons about being on time although I’m not sure that today’s youth are any more in need of instruction than any previous generation. They are actually fairly compliant as a group from what I can discern, even given flash mobs. But I was interested in whether the tardy line was worse than usual and why, whether the process of checking in students was dysfunctional compared to usual, and/or whether the CSD response was consistent with its previous responses. We can all agree to disagree, I hope, on this blog; personal attacks are what’s forbidden.

Trains, walking,sibling drop-offs, new schedule, whatever–these kids have to learn they must make getting to school (or later, work) on time a priority. Consequences teach lessons and sometimes they’re unpleasant but that is life.

He was upset, and he is determined not to be late again. I view those tardy slips as a boost to parents who want their children to be punctual. If they AREN’T enforced, students don’t really care if they get there on time.
