[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 3148725, member: 4333"] I prefer the use of natural consequences of a behavior choice for discipline. In this case, the natural consequence is that missed/late work cannot be turned in for any class credit, i.e the grade suffers. If the school has the resources and the student shows a desire to work off the infraction, some alternative classroom time for doing the missed work at a grade reduction might be possible. When my now-approaching middle-age son was in middle school, he became lazy about homework. The school had an emphasis called ZAP - Zeroes Aren't Permissible. Work would be done and turned in with reports to the parents on status and the reduced grade earned for being late. The program had the desired effect, along with some parental intervention. All of the above assumes the student is below the age for required attendance of 16. Above that age, the school should do everything in their power to give the child what their behavior is saying they truly desire which is not to be at school. When the tardy and truant record arrives at some set number, send whatever paperwork is necessary via registered mail to the home to separate the student from the school. Include an application and information for the community GED program. The packet should include notification that being found on school grounds during school hours without a parent would result in a trespassing charge. [/QUOTE]
