Change Tardy Policy- No Small Child Deserves Humiliation or Unjustifiable Punishment Because of Their Parents
Updates
December 3, 2014
I have spent the last few days reading through the stories you shared about your own children and the anxiety this policy causes. It is heartbreaking to see how many of our kids feel small and ashamed simply because of a morning commute. I am currently reaching out to district administrators to demand that they review these practices at Gehring Elementary immediately.

Seeing this grow has been overwhelming because I know exactly how much those little ones on that stage feel the weight of this policy. Your support proves that I am not the only one who sees this humiliation for what it truly is. This momentum gives me the resolve to keep fighting until no child at Gehring has to sit up there alone.

This is happening to my daughter at her new school where she already feels scared overwhelmed lost and unhappy.
I don't think it's fair to punish little kids because their parents dropped them off late! Most elementary schools don't even start until 9:00 am, Gehring starts at 8:15!
I'm a teacher in the district and unfortunately I see this daily. It doesn't just go towards the children either, the teachers get the shaming as well.
This is heartbreaking. Children can already be so mean to other kids, why give them another reason to single someone out. The school staff is acting like a bully!
bullying cases has resulted in suicide,drug abuse, and other issues. Displaying these young children on a stage In front of the school is cruel and welcoming other children to tournament them. Show our kids that public humiliation is never an answer!!!!
Blog looks great by the way. I am impressed and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!!!
I am a retired CCSD teacher and we had to watch videos at the beginning of the year on what we can and cannot do to discipline a child. Separating them to where they are 'pointed out' is clearly a big NO NO. I guess Gehring thinks that these children must be driving themselves to school every morning and therefore it is their fault. I could go on and on about the abuse we are currently facing at Gehring. We have gone up the chain of commands are are now at the Trustee Level, and have been assigned a 'case number' which is great! If you are interested, reply to this. They have gone as far as to 'impede the education of a homeless child with eye muscle control problems'. She is being evaluated for possible surgery but the counselor stated she is fine and needs nothing! We have asked for her medical credentials but there hasn't been a reply! ALWAYS insist on an email when dealing with tyrannical Administrators! Gehring's policy is phone conference or face to face conference. They DON'T WANT A PAPER TRAIL! We insisted on emails and so we have it in writing!

Why punish the child? Unless they believe the children are driving themselves to school!
