Here is another idea....What ever happened to telling your kids that they had better do what is expected. If they do not...then the PARENTS do something about it when they get home. Instead of the "I will fix this, they are not going to do this to my child" mentality parents have today.Guess what parents, we all live by rules, and it is perfectly ok for you to set rules for your kids and TEENS, and expect them to abide by them.The kids these days are so rude and absoutly disrespectful (to adults, all adults), if I had treated and spoken to my parents or other adults the way kids do now, my own mother would have knocked my head off my shoulders, and guess what....I would not have killed anyone. I was expected to treat all adults with respect or I would pay the price upon coming home. But we are now having to abide by the poor Billy has been wronged, you kiss my child's rear, when in fact poor Billy wronged all the staff at school. Parents get control of your kids.

they do this at my kids school too i thought it was a county thing...

I have heard great things about the program E. Millbrook is using to enforce their tardy policy. The program is part of the larger program of Positive Behavior Support. E. Millbrook's PBS Coach Bart Elliott has done a wonderful job of helping them through the PBS implementation process.

I agree ISS wastes more money (school has to have somebody else keep track of the student)... pulling the kid out of class doesnt solve the problem... detention works better.

this is stupid. you're going to kick someone out for not coming. The ultimate reward for bad behavior: Give them a reason to continue it.

Idiots.
