I've changed username due to being linked back to my normal account but I'm a term user - Korean granny/penis beaker etc.
Anyway! I work in a 6th form college. Today I had 16 out of 23 students late to my 9am class. All sauntered in with no apology and honestly no reasons.
I shut my classroom door at 9.03 and expect them to be in their seats by then, otherwise they're late and in trouble - with the exceptions of genuine reasons who notified in advance obviously.
Anyway one such child who sauntered in at 9.06 and was suitably told that it was not acceptable has gotten a parent to complain to me by email that I'm being overzealous and lateness is not a big deal.
So. I put it to you the mumsnet jury! What is late? What is on time? Hit me with your anonymous opinions as to whether I need rectify my totalitarian ways or not 😂
(PS this is lighthearted venting of frustrations!)
