Today on the Weekly Outlook, we have got two students’ opinions on if we should get Detentions for Tardies. There are some positives and negatives for getting detentions. Some positives would be that if you get detention people would probably be less likely to be tardy. It would also discourage kids from being late and cutting class. Some negatives would be that some students wouldn’t have time to go to detention because they play sports and not want to miss out. Another negative would be that maybe a student was held in traffic or that a teacher was talking to them so they got detention for no reason.
Savanni Alcaraz had her opinions on this and she had to say “I don’t think we should have detentions for tardies because a lot of timeless people are tardy. It’s not their fault. They could be getting held up by another teacher or they could be having a personal emergency you never know. No one deserves detention for being tardy because at least you made it to class.”
Olivia Boggan had things to say on this topic that concluded, “I think that getting detention would help kids be on time more and be a discipline.”
