How many times have you been late for school?

I would say teachers who ignore your hard work just to **** on you for your attendance are very thick in the head, legit after your leave school not a SINGLE person will care about your attendance, all they care about is your grades. You can have 100% attendance but just be there instead of doing any work.

I find the attendance figures to be for the schools gain. I had 97% attendance and around 3-4 days off per year and was called into a room to get a warning. The school even gave £50 vouchers for being on time

I was late for school on Monday. :frown:

There was absolutely loads of traffic because of roadworks (I only knew it was roadworks because the bus driver made an announcement to everyone who was on the bus to update what was going on.) Thankfully I was only about 10 minutes late but I had the sense to ring the school and leave a message to say that I was going to be late. Also, one of my friends went to tell my teacher that I was going to be late because of the traffic. A lot of people were late but didn't get caught because of staggered start times (I start at 8:30am but I didn't arrive until 8:40am which is when year 9 and year 10 were going in) so I just followed them into school and went straight to class.

Never. As I'm responsible for sorting out cover for the teachers who don't turn up I have to get in super early....in an exam season that can be 06:30
