No, I don't think we should be getting detention for every tardies we get because sometimes we don't mean to be late. And I don't think we should get punished for something we don't intentionally do. Detention for every tardy is like counting every little mistake we make each day. How is anyone supposed to feel confident in school when we know we have a live mistake counter in the school?

no, because its not fair to make us stay in school for 20 minutes just because we are late JUST ONCE! i got detention for being late to class by literally 3 minutes...and i had 20 minutes for that... that's not fair because i didnt even miss anything! and the bells are always late anyway.......if they are so strict about being late then why are the bells late??????? Side: No
well its very unfair because sometimes we end up in situations where our teachers let us out late and they dont even give us a slip and its not like we all have super fast running powers that we can run to class, with all our classes right on time. I think we should have a day where all the teachers takes the students place and see if they can make it to all their classes on time. Side: No
This teaches you to try to avoid those situations and reminds your teachers that the importance of them dismissing you on time is just as important as you arriving on class at time. Therefore, the detention policy is beneficial because it teaches not only the students an important lesson of promptness it also teaches teachers. For them to learn this lesson, you may have to notify them of your situation. Side: yes

no...why should you be penalised for being late.Being "late" is something that is not always due to our control.humans are all guilty of being late for something at some point in life(even myself who is always early).This is how there came to be a place in the market for belated birthday cards...so no, leave the kids alone.btw.....how often are teachers late? Side: No

I say no. I am a student and i have to get from the very last class room possible (gym) on one side of the school, to the very last class room possible on the other side of the school. It is very hard to walk all the way down there and be on time. I also have to get my books before i go. I'm late mostly every day for class but luckily my teacher is very understanding about my schedule. Side: No
ok, now this is aimed at everyone who says YES. this morning, i felt like i felt when i had the flu. really bad. well, anyway, later on in the morning, i felt better. this was way before my school usually has the late bell ring, so it looked like i could make it if i left immediatly. So when we got to the school, i ran to class and just as i walked in the door, the late bell rang. So i was late. by one millisecond. precisley. so then i got an HOUR of detention tommorow, and i ask you: does that seem fair. by the way, what is AISD? anyway, this was the second time i was late this year, the first being sometime in november. and the reason was for this detention, was that i needed a note saying why i was late. even though it was the stupid traffic and the stupid locker door. so i DO NOT think detention is very fair for being late, and anything that doesn't involve bullies, fist fights, or curse words. Side: No
Detention policy should not be accepted as it is now in AISD. The rule that every late tardy equals to a detention is ethically wrong, as we being humans are liable to make mistakes on a everyday basis, and we should not be penalized by coming in and making up time after school as detention. We SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR BEING HUMANS! Side: No
Humans are liable to make mistakes but have control over the frequency of their mistakes. The more you are "penalized" for your "mistakes" makes it more likely that you won't repeat them. If this penalization makes you a better human, then it is a worthwhile policy. Side: yes

Yes because then the teacher does not have to go over anything that the students might have missed while being late. But the detentions should not be 20 minutes. If someone is late 2 minutes and have to be in detention, that does not make sense because the same thing happens if they are 40 minutes late. they get 20 minutes. However, it helps students to learn the lesson of being on time, which will help them to be a more organized person later in life. but the detention time should be closer to how late they were.

If a student is late to a class, they should have to make up for that time after school, on their own time. Even if they're only late by the smallest of time, it doesn't matter. Staying after school for 20 minutes/tardy as a consequence will make them realize the importance of being on time. Being penalized for tardiness may help in preparing students for the real world--when being on time to their jobs is very crucial. Side: yes

First, the detention policy for tardies makes the students get to class on time. The students will be more worried about getting to class and this urgency will decrease the number of students getting late or else the students might just loiter around a few minutes after the bell goes. Plus, for the first six tardies it is only a 20 min. detention, so if you are late once for some reason, you only spend 20 min. If however you are regularly late then, you get 40 min. detention (after 6 tardies), so you will put more effort in trying to get to class on time. Side: yes

It's fair to get a detention if you're late, however it should not be 20 minutes. For example if you're 5 minutes late to class you should have a 5 minute detention, if you're 30 seconds late, you should get a 30 second detention. If you're 30 minutes late get a 30 minute detention. Simple. There is no point in Billy D doubling your detention if you miss one? you should be able to make it up whenever. And for those of you who have many tardies we shouldn't have a hour detention everytime we're tardy. kthxbye. Side: yes
