Finding paragraph #1

I have been researching about students being tardy, and what i have noticed is that alot of schools are moving their starting time for school back like a half hour because students are doing better with an extra little bit of sleep.

“On a more personal note, I have found the 8:30 start to be the single most positive impact to my general quality of life at [the school] since I started 12 years ago.”

quote, paraphrase, and ciatation #5

Getting to school on time and into the classroom with all other students significantly contributes to academic and social success and allows students to be part of the group.

There saying that students that are tardy messes up learning for you and the class.

quote, paraphrase, and ciatation #4

Tardies interrupt classes and are generally disruptive. They affect grades and establish bad habits.A student is counted tardy if he/she is not in his/her designated place at the appropriate time.

They are saying that students that are tardy do worse in school.

I agree with this completely, but the difference between this school and my school is we are counted tardy before class ever starts, and thats why i dont agree with our tardy system.

quote, paraphrase, and ciatation #3

"A student that is frequently tardy likes the attention and thats why he/she is frequently tardy."

There saying that a tardy student wants attention.  I disagree with this completely, bc the reason that im usually tardy is because im tired and dragging.

This clock reminds me of waking up for school everyday thinking that i wish i could have another half hour of sleep. If they would start school at 8:30 ki think i would be better off throughout the day.

Quote, paraphrase, and ciatation #2

“Well for me, ever since the 8:30 start, I have seen how much good 30 minutes of extra sleep does for me, so I have been inspired to … get an additional half hour on top of the 30 minutes.”

This is a direct quote from a student, explaining how much better he feels throughout the day since they moved the time to start school back by just 30 minutes.

This picture is what the teachers say when you are late for class. This bothers me because this happens to me all the time and it isnt even time for class to start. This is because you are considered tardy at 8:05 and class starts at 8:15.  hairguytruman.blogspot.com

"On a more personal note, I have found the 8:30 start to be the single most positive impact to my general quality of life at [the school] since I started 12 years ago.”

If we were to start school a lil bit later, the students would achieve better and would be well awake, and also there would less tardy.

This looks like me when im late for school, rushing to get to class. The bad thing about it is that im late like this and class doesnt begin for another ten minutes most of the time.

Being tardy

Being tardy

What i want to know about my topic?

There is alot i would like to know about my topic. For one, are we going to be getting wrote up this year for tardys? Next of all, If we do not eat school breakfast what is the point of us being here for it when class doesnt start til afterwards? This is what i would like to know about my topic, can u help?

The story behind my topic.

The story behind my topic is something that has happened on more than one occasion. I will walk into school around 8 or 8:05 and then there will be somebody standing at the front door telling me to go get a tardy pass. Everytime this happens it makes me mad because i know class doesnt start til 8:15 and I get marked tardy, to me coming to school before breakfast should be a choice. Dont u think so?

What i already know about my topic.

I already knew that when you come in after 8 oclock you are considered tardy and have to get a pass to class. I knew this because the rule was the exact same last year and because the administrator told us at the beginning of the year what the rule was going to be.

Tardy Bell

Every time i come into school a few minutes after eight and have to get a tardy pass, i think to myself "why do we have to be here at 8 if class doesnt start to 8:15. I think that we the students should have the choice of coming in early to eat breakfast or waiting until its time to start class to come because i hardly ever eat breakfast and i know alot of other people also never eat it at school, so whats the point of us people that dont eat breakfast here to be here during breakfast.!!!   YA DiGGG
