    Why don’t they just let the kids in? Who cares if they are a little late. Life’s complicated, shit happens.

      “Tardiness” rules always struck me as pedantic bullshit. “Nope. You’re here 3 seconds after the bell rang. Now, miss more class to go get a late slip from the office.”

          No, start the class on time and the kids who get there within a minute or so can just walk in and sit down, like you do in a world that isn’t run by bean counting shit fuckers.

            While I agree with the spirit of your argument, a 5 or 6 year old is not going to be able to enter a classroom without making a disturbance. And students entering late make it more difficult for the teacher.

            Also, if this is an issue so much that the school has to put our a statement, it’s probably not just a one time thing, it’s probably the continued abuse of the existing system to the detriment of those following said system.

              This is going to happen regardless of if you have a late slip or not.
