Which rhymes with D and that stands for DETENTION! (Gotta love The Music Man!)
I don't know why...But I have chronic "5 Minutes Late" Syndrome.
It doesn't matter if I'm trying to get somewhere leisurely, or on a deadline. I am always 5 minutes later than I want to be. Sometimes that means I am 5 minutes past the time I was expected to be there. Other times, it means that I lose 5 minutes in preparation for what I going to be doing. It may also mean that I leave 5 minutes later than I wanted, and end up at my destination on time (but never early.)
I tell you what, though, I think some school offcials have found the cure all for my disease: Detention.
Yup, you now have a new incentive to get your kids to school on time. Some public schools are making you serve detention if your kids are late.
Under the new rule, parents who don't drop off their kids by the specified time, have to pick up late slips from the principal's office.
But that's not all...then, you must go to the auditorium to serve 20 minutes of detention with your kids!!!
Most parents who have served detention say they won't be late again.

I have no idea, but at first detention. They should have to write sentences...after that, checks to the school! LOL!!
