It's amazing how many students come late to 1st hour. Washburn starts school at 8:30, so it's not like it's an incredibly early start like some of the high schools in the area that start at 7:15. Yet, there's always a few students who just don't catch the bus on time and come anywhere from a minute late to missing 1st hour completely. Last year it wasn't really an issue, but this year, I always have 4-6 students who are late or miss class because they missed the bus. One day, 10 of my 29 students in 1st hour were not there by the time the bell rang. That's over 1/3 of the class.
Sadly, the students who are consistently late are generally the students who need to be in class the most, and when you miss 20 minutes of class 2-3 times per week, it's inevitable that you'll fall behind. It's almost like for some students, they need to be very careful which class is scheduled in their 1st hour spot, because some kids keep on failing 1st hour, no matter what the class is.
