[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, I lost my second job because there were 3-4 parents who would pick their kids up late every day. I had to wait with the students until their parents showed up. My after-school job fired me because I was late too often. I've been able to tutor online for the last few months and it has helped with my bills. [/quote]

And those parents probably never learned that their actions affected you negatively.[/quote]

Probably not.

I didn’t do clubs when my daughters were younger because my students would not get picked up on time and then I would be late picking my own kids up from daycare. The daycare charged $15 for the first 15 min late and then $5 a min after that. My students’ parents would show at 5:15 for 4:30 dismissal from clubs with no more consequences than a warning that if they were an hour late CPS would be called. [/quote]

There should always be consequences - that's silly.

People will run all over you otherwise. My after-school care charged a $2 a minute for every late pick-up. 32 minutes late = $64. 60 minutes late = $120.

If the parents had more than 5 infractions, they dropped the kid and had someone else from the wait-list.

Quite effective.[/quote]
