Sign Of The Times
We got an e-mail from the principal of
our daughter's middle school. I have added the emphasis in bold of the part
which caught my
attention:
"Dear
Parents,
I have been hearing from
teachers that they are concerned that we have SO many students coming in 5-20
minutes late in the morning with excuses like,
"There was a long line at
Starbucks". The ONLY excused tardy is
for being ill or a doctor's appointment.
We will be assigning lunch
detention to students who come in late more than once with an "over-slept", got
started late, had to stop by Starbucks,
etc.
The teachers still have
quite a bit or curriculum they want to teach and we/they would really appreciate
it if the students were on time to class in the
morning.
Thank
you,"
