[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite often, by a few minutes. I talk to him about how it’s disrespectful and is building bad habits, but otherwise I don’t see it as a huge problem.
Can it be bad for college admissions? I hope not so I don’t really care. [/quote]

Oh and he gets lunch detentions so I consider it handled [/quote]

+1 My kid has had trouble sleeping since he was a toddler; stopped taking naps at 3.  He's a night owl; mornings are brutal and more so since high school when he often studies late at night.

I have talked to him about how it would be a disaster if every kid was 5 minutes to class all the time. But other than that, no consequences at home. It's handled by the school with lunch/ball game/prom detention.

Clearing the tardies are done by meeting with a teacher during early office hours or going to study hall; the school says studies show that being late affects academic performance. Clearly this is not an issue with all kids who are late, including mine.

Studies also show that teen biological sleep patterns conflict with early morning start times. But no one seems to care about that.

In college, he will not take a class before 9am.
