We as teachers have three options when dealing with students that come
late to class. One option is to let them continue their habit without any
repercussions. If asked if there are any implications of how we speak
towards the students I would have to say absolutely. A teacher may not say
anything verbally but he/she is saying a great deal. The teacher is telling
the student that they accept the behavior that is being presented. The
second option is to verbally telling them they are late and that they need
to be punctual. If a student is habitually late then tell them to be
punctual and that they will not be allowed to make up missed work. If they
continue the habit then they will be sent to the office. Also, ask the
student why they are late to your class and if there is anything you can do
to help them not be late to your class. The voice of the teacher can make
or break the classroom mood. So if a teacher has a harsh tone with the
student then the student will be defensive and if the teacher is calm the
student will more likely be more understanding. The third option is to not
allow the student back into the class room and to send them straight to the
office. This is the harshest way to handle the situation but many times
will be the only way a student understands. The goal will be for students
to start taking responsibility for their actions. The tone of voice that a
teacher uses when instructing a student go to the office because of this
infraction could lead to more class room disturbances.
There are many possibilities for students being late to classes. The
most feasible reasons for students to be late to class are: students not
taking responsibility for themselves and student does not thinking that it
is important to be in class on time because there are no consequences.
Students that do not take ownership over their responsibilities will be
late to school in the morning for first period. The student gives excuses
like I over slept or my alarm clock did not go off. The excuses that these
students give are many but there is usually a reason for the excuses. The
second reason is lack of class room management. If you instill in a
student high expectations and strong class room management techniques then
they will not want to be late to your class unless there is a personal
issue. If you feel motivated, to find a reason for the behavior, the
student will greatly benefit from your caring heart. All students have a
reason for their behavior. It is educators who can help them solve the
problem and get back on track. Take the student aside and start asking them
questions and let them know you are there for them. Make sure you make
them feel safe and comfortable.
Many people may have different things they feel we should avoid when
addressing situation "come to class late." One thing I feel we should
avoid is any female issues or medical situations. This could be
embarrassing every party involved. I do not feel that medical issues or
female issues should be used as excuses or as an excessive way to be late
to class but we should be sensitive to these issues. I would ask a
professional if there is a way to identify students that are using medical
situations or female issues as excuses.
