c. The third Tardy you receive in a row will be counted as Absent, and you will be told to leave the

classroom for that day.

I will not allow a student to participate in the classroom on any day that they are not there. If you are counted as Absent, you are NOT THERE!

**NOTE: Just so there is no confusion or arguing on time: The Clock in the classroom will be the time that we go by. If there is NO clock in the classroom, or it is broken or badly incorrect, then the time will be recorded according to the Instructors watch. If you have problems in this area, you should find out how those two times differ from what your watch says and adjust accordingly!
