18.Tardiness.

   

The High School campus I reside in has both positive and negative aspects in it, and as a student, it is my duty to be concerned and posses the desire to implement change to the negative aspects in order to better accommodate the people attending the school. One of these changes to my best knowing are, the strict policy on tardiness, especially regarding the ones to the first period of the school day. At times, it is beyond our control the occurrings that cause one to be late, for example; the amount of traffic, weather, or construction, etc any obstacle that restrict our ability to arrive on time. Also, seeming to be unknown and out of the range of concern to the school  is that some students are unable to arrive in the timely matter for the fact that they have other siblings that need to be transported to school  as well, therefore making it more challenging for the parent or guardian providing the ride to be tied down to punctuality. In addition, it should be changed the fact that it is unjust for the citizenship grade to be changed to an "F" just because of tardies if you have an exceptional grade in the class, on the contrary, having a good grade exemplifies that despite the belatedness, you are capable of keeping track of  classwork and assignments and sustain the material of the class. I find no fault in arriving late as long as it is a few minutes late as opposed to entire classes which  indeed would be considered disparaging to the students education
