[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullshit. You adjust your schedule to ensure that you and your kids are where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there.

If school starts at 7:41, then clearly you won't be staying up to watch the Top 10.

There is simply no excuse for constantly being late. None.[/quote]

ITA!!  I really think the parents were thinking people would sympathize with their "plight".  The sad thing is that those children will probably end up being just like the parents, and think that their time is more valuable than anyone else's.

I've taught preschool, and have dealt with the parents who are constantly late bringing the children in.  Some of them were apologetic ("she hates to get up in the morning") and some were not.   Many of these same children started complaining to their parents about not wanting to come to school, and I would tell the parents that perhaps if they were there for the playtime we had before circle time, and everyone else was not sitting there looking at them as they arrived, then the child would feel more comfortable.  DUH!

I think Loudoun's method of dealing with excessive tardiness may be a bit much, but if that's what it takes to solve the issue...
