Reply to "Getting Kids to Arrive On Time"

The problem I have with some of these REWARD and punishment systems is that they are punishing the kids for having parents who bring them late. It's not the kid's fault. I would never make a child wait outside a classroom. Late arrivers are not THAT disruptive. Teachers that have problems with them are probably having a "control" issue.

(WWJD? How about the parable of the late coming "Laborers in the Vineyard" as a clue, or the Lost Sheep.)

Another question: Why should a church think it has to play "cop" on those who arrive late? We are not the public school. Do we punish late arrivers in worship or for meetings? Sounds like a double standard for kids.

Encouragement yes, restrictions NO.
