[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be a first time HM that didn't realize it was possible or important to talk to previous HFs.  Then joined some sort of group (like this one!) and decided better late than never.  Please tell her the truth!  [b]She could always break the match.[/b][/quote]

This. Or if she knows to watch out for the late pick ups, she'll know to lay down the law the first time it happens and unequivocally tell AP it's unacceptable.

We threaten AP with paying any school late pick up fees if AP is late without extenuating circumstances (car accident). We also say speeding because you're late is NOT ok (have a car tracker that tells us this info--AP went 60 in a 45mph non-highway zone with crosswalks when she was 15 minutes late recently). Have we ever had to enforce this (late fees)? No. Does it impress upon the AP that it's their responsibility not to be late? Yes, to the point our APs leave somewhat ridiculously early and sit in the car for 10-15 minutes on their phone waiting in the carpool line (which I roll my eyes at, but prefer than 15 minutes late).[/quote]
