Vanguard's tardy policy has always been more lenient than other school's policies. At China Spring, after the students are tardy the first time, they are sent to the office. After three tardies, the students are sent to detention hall after school. Some aspects of Vanguard's policy need improvement. First, a good bookkeeping system is needed.
Teachers have a lot of additional work.
It is really unfair to count them. If a student has a doctor's appointment and comes into class late, then the tardy should not count. We can't schedule all of our appointments after school. Some students don't even have a study mod during which they can make room for an appointment. If they miss the entire class period, then they won't be counted tardy and the absence will be excused.
