School gives me iss for being late?

[Ashiella]

Do you think its write that a school should give me in school suspension for being late 3 minutes each time for 3 days within half a year? Because that doesnt seem fair at all. In allot of jobs if you were 3 minutes late for 3 days during the length of half a year, im 90% certain they would just either not care or talk to you about it. But immediate disciplinary actions? Is this fair, what do you guys think?

ok it's kinda hard

but it's also not tooo hard to get up 5 min earlier and be 5 min earlier at school.

I was never late in 12 years of school...

Maybe work on your righting skis before worrying about your writes?

It's really not hard to be on time, yes I do think it's fair. At my school if you are late five times in a semester you get detention, it's totally reasonable.

I genuinely don't understand how people wind up late unless there's some very specific reason behind it.

Generally a workplace will frown on you being late even once.  It's common practice to arrive a few minutes early so that you can hit the ground running when the clock ticks over.

@AshleyAshes I really hope this is a joke...

Well... The 'skis' part I blame on my phone's autocorrect, but otherwise it is obviously a joke, yes.

When I attended elementary school I also had to put on those bloody uniforms, skirts, long socks, shoes and that awful buttos shirt I hated it mostly because I also took roughly half hour just to get properly dressed up... God I do not miss my school days at all...

Yeah, id rather just work. I could take my GED right now and pass, but, im not sure about it.

I always wake up significantly earlier than I need to be somewhere so that in the worst case scenario, I naturally wake up awhile after my alarm would be set in-case I somehow slept through it.
 

 

Once your out of school, you need to understand that many employers simply don't care that there was a 5 car accident on your way to work that made you late, they will just not care, they will not baby you, now is the time to understand this, they expect you to be there anyway. The only way to do that is to be always early, get used to doing that now so its a habit before you're in a situation where there may not be a second chance.

It is true that in the "real world" no one looks twice at rolling in to work a couple minutes late under reasonable circumstances; however going to school is about more than doing coursework and getting good grades. By using a seemingly exaggerated punishment for a minor offense, they're trying to instill a sense of accountability. Something that is very important in real life.

That has never really worked on me, it makes me more tenacious about going against the rule that landed me there in the first place.

Go to bed earlier. Get up earlier. You have commitments. You are the only person who is to blame here. Most entry jobs will just fire you for being late as you can be replaced with someone who wants to be there. Be on time. Be Prepared. Schedule yourself with time to spare. Dare I say... Grow Up. 

 

Congrats on your first learning experience in being a replaceable cog. Welcome to the system.

And thats the exact opposite of what theyre trying to instill in you. It's not done because they like making your life difficult

Well then you need to get over it. That is a personal problem that needs to be resolved, nobody is going out of their way to make your life difficult.

[Bigbootyjudy]

I dont think its to harsh. I go to a public school and last year everyone was late all of the time. They changed the policy to be very strict this year and no is tardy anymore. I know how you feel though, Im always late to everything but I can still get to school on time.

Not fair

Sure it's unfair. Sure they shouldn't give you detention for it (or anything, but that's a whole separate issue). But that's how it is, and you shouldn't expect it to change while you're there. Don't complain about fairness or the punishment, they don't care and speaking up will land you more detentions. Wake up a few minutes earlier if you want to get there on time, because excuses don't matter.

Thing is, detention is basically staying after school an hour or so to complete work that you may have missed or something like that, i know the vice principal well and can probably get the punishment changed, but detention makes more sense than straight iss which is basically, do you work, just in a different place with no social interaction and no exercise or anything. For 8 hours, sometimes you dont even do anything, you just sit there.

Good to know solitary confinement (torture) is also a punishment used on children. I thought ISS was shorter than the whole school day.

You cant talk or move out of your seat, its literally solitary confinement, but en masse
