[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP -- I am the poster you are responding to. Just for the record, I am an elementary school teacher and I can definitely see how kids coming late every single day can be a pain in the a--, and can even (perhaps) impeded the ability of other children to learn... although quite honestly, I think very few classrooms are that finely tuned where a child entering 2 or 4 minutes late EVERY DAY would really, truly hinder much of anything. I'm just being honest here.[/quote] But what if all the kids' parents decided that the school's start time was a sort of serving suggestion? If you had kids drifting in every day, up to ten minutes late, would that be a problem. The fact that the parents still can't get their kids there on time even when they get up 15 minutes earlier tells me that this is not about a packed morning schedule. It's about misplaced sense of entitlement, and the biggest favor the school can do for the kids is to tell them No. [/quote]
