Being late for school...

[lovinbowhuntin247365]

hey mick, set your alarm earlier, and leave ten minutes earlier than usual!! i used to have it, but ive gotten to the point where i can time it jsut right and not have to stand out in the cold for an hour ... go ten minutes early, and if you stand there for ten minutes, go five minutes later the next day ... worked for me!!

[lovinbowhuntin247365]

i know exactly what you mean ... set it for a half hour earlier than you want to get up, and keep hittin the snooze bar .... it works for me!

Put the alarm clock on the other side of the room, so you have to get out of bed to shut it off.

lol man if i were to miss my bus then i'd have to stay home, we live 40 miles from my school....if youre late 3 times, no matter what, you get automatic detention, jus like your school lol. i have the same problem, i am supposed to get up at 5:30 to have enough time to do everything, i set the alarm for like 5 but dont get up till like hhmm 6:15 LOL!! i need to break the habit too lol

I have the same problem, and am going to try Tedicast's idea.

Placing the alarm clock across the room works for me. Its hard to hit the snooze button when it is 8ft away.

well if u lived at my house and u don't get up withing ten minutes, my mom goes outside and grabs a handful of snow and rubs it in your face, ah the joys of liveing in Canada, lol, yah and if that doesn't work nothing will.

My excuse when im late for school, is
"the traffic on the 401, is awful this time in the morning."

our school starts at 8:25, i have to wake up at 5:30 though to catch the bus at 7:00.

not been late once this year

but i got suspended for fighting

Getting up is a problem for me too. 3 absenses or tardies result in a letter grade drop in most of my classes...So I tend to force myself out bed. Since I am the one paying for my school, I reckon I better not screw up and fail a class and get no credit. Thats just burning money! But I agree, it's so hard to get up when your bed is the most comfortable thing on earth!

[struttinhoyt]

2 tardies and you get detention and when you get like 3 you get lickz and then at 5 your get suspended.......at my school.......I have yet to get in trouble at school so far.....havnt had detention.....

Consider yourself lucky If your late in my school 5 days in a SEMESTER (Thats half of a year just 5 times in half of a school year!) You get automatic ISS (In School Suspension they put u in a room to do work without talking for the whole school day.) The 6th time you get automatic 1 day Out of School Vacation. But they also suspend you if you try to break up a fight and I know that because its happened to me on more than one occasion and one was with a school teacher and kid and they still tryed to suspend me so I cussed out the principal and walked out. Then the stupid principal tried to get me expelled for writing a sign that said "No Fun" and putting it on the art room wall. Thats all it said. I was friggin PISSED! I couldnt beleive it. And all taht because I wore a shirt from a paintball sponsor (bunkerking for those that know) and she couldnt make me take it off because I had to wear it because of a sponsor logo deal. But thats ok because Ive only got to deal with her for one more year and Ive already been screwin with her this year and she doesnt know its me (Personally my favorite so far was the EVIL paintball powder in her cardoor handle (her hands weere orange for a week haha) but Shell get the worst on grad. day haha and that time its not just gonna be me and 2 other buddies itll be like the whole senior class haha man I cant wait lol.

He's right, that's what I do too. It really works.

My first period teacher had bathroom duty last semester. She didnt get in class until 10-15 minutes after the bell rings. I dont think Ive been ontime in the last month and I have a whopping total of 0 tardys. IM 16 so I drive to school though, no bus to miss. Try putting the alarm under your bed or away from you like the others were saying.

[lovinbowhuntin247365]

do i dare ask what bathroom duty is?????
