Oregon first-grader humiliated by school’s punishment after being 1 minute late to class

100. i agree the school should have talked to the mother and i'd be surprised if it hadn't happened.

especially since the kid is 6. he's obviously not responsible for getting himself to school on time. something seems very off about this story.

of course she's blaming others. she blames the school, her arthritis, her car; she says it was 'just one or two' minutes late; she says they didn't know there was a problem until 'recently -- even though she's been bringing the kid to school late not just this year, but last year (but just a few minutes late, like that somehow makes it ok instead or making her look like even more of a screw-up, because if you're habitually a couple minutes late what does that say?)

Blame/excuses, she's not taking any responsibility for a problem she could have solved months ago with no help from anyone else, because she's the ultimate cause of the problem. Everyone else reacted to the conditions *she* created. She doesn't get a special dispensation because the school reacted badly.
