It’s everyone’s favorite feeling: rushing through the halls as the clock strikes 8:40 a.m. The bus was late, or there was traffic, or maybe you just slept in. Either way, you\u2019re late. But not to worry, the staff of ACHS is ready to help with their new tardy policy, a plan that will make you even tardy-er than you were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 2.0 Tardy System is very efficient,\u201d said Ms. Ruspe Atel, head of the planning committee for the new system. \u201cWe can quickly turn a 5-minute tardy into a 15-minute one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of going directly to class, late students must  first go through a scavenger hunt to find an open Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe plant clues around the school, specially designed to take as much time as possible and culminate in a map of the singular Academy that will be scanning IDs that day,\u201d said Ms. Atel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program has been well-received by many students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a great experience with it,\u201d said senior Ty Ardy. \u201cI had my physics final and my bus was stuck in traffic, so I walked in the door at 8:35, but thanks to the new program, I didn’t get to my class until 8:50\u2014by that point, the test had started, so I couldn’t take it. I couldn\u2019t recommend this program enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents have been expressing similar views, \u201cI\u2019m glad this program exists. It really holds kids accountable for being late, even when it’s entirely out of their control. I think it teaches them important things about how the world works, and that forgiveness is never expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program is a champion of a new nationwide movement called KKO (Keep Kids Out) which focuses on giving kids the consequence of being left out when they break rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best punishment is FOMO,\u201d says the company’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers are also on board with this new system. \u201cI had a student who would always be slightly late to my class every morning because they had to drop off their younger sibling at school,\u201d said Ms. Nufon. \u201cBut now because of this new program, they\u2019ve had to drop my class entirely, rather than build up that many tardies. This system definitely does what it says it does.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the system has gone over well with many in the school community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s rare that a system as effective as this comes along,\u201d said Ms. Atel, \u201cBut this one is amazing at keeping kids out of their classes and blaming them for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
