[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first time a parent is more than 15 minutes late we chalk it up to a one time incident that you can't always prevent from happening. However, when it starts becoming a pattern you 100% will be judged. 
I once had to stay at my elementary school with a third grader until 5:15pm which was almost two hours after dismissal. Nobody on the emergency contacts would answer their phones. I was very close to calling the police when the mom finally arrived. Unlike private schools, we can't charge guardians for being late in picking up their children. [/quote]
I wish my ES had that policy when I was young. We didn’t have buses, lived at the edge of town, and my sister and I would routinely wait by ourselves long after everyone else was long gone. OP don’t be that parent.[/quote]

What can public schools do if it happens repeatedly other than calling police?[/quote]

Your poor kid

Poor kid, poor teacher,  poor school. The PP appears to have no respect for other people's time. The office staff also have personal commitments to attend to.and can't always put your kids above their own. And why should they have to?

The PP's attitude is just one more reason why teachers,  principals, etc are leaving the profession in droves.  [/quote]
