[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine have never been late, though my second kid will probably be late once she starts walking to high school (she has a bus to middle).

I can’t imagine not caring about kids being late. [b]Maybe it’s because I’m a teacher, but the kids who come in late miss so much.[/b] Not only that they are just not settled into working when it’s time.

I get that some kids have other things going in their lives that are more important to worry about, but otherwise, it seems like a skill that’s important to teach. My second kid has adhd and is seriously time blind, but she also has alarms set so she doesn’t miss her bus…[/quote]

Only if the material is challenging and not a rehash of what they already know. My child takes AP Calc BC, AP Physics C and APUSH very seriously. She never misses unless she's genuinely sick. Honors Spanish 5 is *easier* than her Spanish 4 class of last year, and honestly it's making her worry about AP Spanish next year. She could miss a ton of those without consequence. Honors English 10 is a complete joke and she reads in class (after reading the assigned books, doing her work, and while the teacher is still blathering on at a snail's pace). Likewise, she's learned nothing from this class.

You don't understand how some classes are just... not informative, my dear Teacher. Some are actually a waste of students' time.
