[quote=Anonymous]OP - I sympathize with you as I’m in the exact same situation with a 6th grade girl and an 8th grader who is ready early and tired of almost being late most days. They’ve been late a couple of times, but weren’t marked tardy.

I could have written the same post and hate starting our day this way. Before everyone jumps on me, no bus service to their school which is about 10 miles away. I work and can’t come back for her. Additionally, the 6th grader shares a room with a younger sibling who does not always have to get up as early.

I try to get her to have everything organized in the evenings, but that’s a struggle in itself. Even if she has everything laid out, she’ll decide in the morning she wants a different sweatshirt or shoes or needs a book. She has limited phone usage (like a hour), but that seems to be her currency. So starting tonight, her being ready to go in the morning will determine whether she gets to use her phone that afternoon. Not ready on time, no phone. [/quote]
