If we have a first grader and they are late 50 times and they come in at 8:15 a.m., they have missed 12 and a half hours of school. As a first grader, reading is crucial for them and we've lost that time. We can hold them in at recess and do interventions, but that's not (fun for the child). We have older students that come in an hour and a half late. Do the math on that one. Plus, they are missing math first thing in the morning. |
