jun Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 So, my school is all backwards. Very strict and boring There thing is, if you are late for school 3 times, you have 3 hour Saturday school, from about 7:20~10:20 Late 4 times (counting the earlier 3) You have 2 more Saturday Schools 5, Then your kicked out for a week... about 6 or 7 is a big issue where its like court issues Anyways, let me point out, i am a senior, so i have half a year of this nonsense then i am gone. I already have 3 absences and gotten a Saturday school (This Saturday actually) But i was called down today because of my 4th absence. I was supposed to get another two saturday schools, Yet, somehow, i weaseled my way out of it.. XD How lucky am I? Well, i was luckyer last year i had.. count them.. 20 Unexcused Tardys last year.. yet NO Saturday school, Nor any warnings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Vena Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow when I was in school you had 8 unexcused tardies before you got in trouble. But then again the school system lacked on discipline and academics. It was not till my senior year that they disallowed knives at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazara Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 This may seem really dumb but...what's a tardy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome_Paul Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Unless Im mistaken a tardy is pretty much American for being late :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 This may seem really dumb but...what's a tardy? Tardy pretty much means that they were late enough that they weren't there from the start of class but early enough that it doesn't count as an absence. I'm pretty sure my school had like a 20 minute time frame before it was considered an absence even if you sat through the rest of the class.

dazedANDconfused Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wow, that is really strict! Makes me almost appreciate my school. xD Basically, if you're over fourty-five minutes late (half the period/class) then you're marked as late, which there is rarely any consequence for. It mainly depends on the teacher, and I have only come across one or two that serve punishment for being late. As for being absent, I spent nearly 92% of the time being absent last year, and although I was basically attacked by the school board I managed to avoid expulsion. I don't think I could imagine having to constantly be punctual. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureTXTurkey Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That's sounds like something that would have happened to me in HS. I find that if your well behaved, and get in good with people like the office staff, the custodians and the certain key teachers, then you can pretty much find an excuse to whatever you want. Like I had a dance class I didn't like, so I got my theatre teacher to right me a note pretty much every day saying there as a lot of work to be done in the theatre department and if the dance teacher didn't need me could I go help out. And of course the dance department didn't mind me being gone cause I did the lights and the sound for all of their dance concerts for free because all I wanted was the ITS points that it got me...in hind site I should have charged, LOL.

livvy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 *sigh* So lucky... I have to go stare at a computer screen for hours on end this Saturday because I was sick one too many times in a block class (two periods per day for half a semester, so only 5 absences allowed instead of 10.) They're all excused too! It's so stupid... And if I don't go make it up, (which will cost about $30 per day I missed) then I fail the class for absences. I have a 100 in the class! What sense does that make?? I hate how impersonal the schools are... *tear runs down cheek; attempts to hide the fact that she's crying* ~ Livvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphy the Swamp Witch Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That is kind of strict - at my school, if you are late, you go to the Student Administrative Office and explain to them, give them a note, or otherwise get them to believe you. If they do, they stamp your diary and sign it for you to show your teacher. If you have an unreasonable excuse then you get a detention and a yellow slip I think...two yellow slips equal a detention. And they record it on the school system and everything so you can't just throw the slip away XD. It might also have something to with how late you are, my friend got detention but not a yellow slip.

Mimii Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Aww, I was thinking you got out of jury duty. Too young for that I suppose! Well congrats I guess? :P When I was a senior I had a baby so I was emancipated which meant I could sign myself out or call myself in whenever I wanted to. Mwuahaha!
