Where can you be late 30 times in 45 days and still be successful? In DCPschools, that is where.

Duval County public schools that is where! Friends there is no tardy policy in Duval County and daily our schools teach kids it doesn’t matter when they show up OR NOT.

How about this? If you are tardy seven times in 45 days you automatically lose a letter grade, 15 times two-letter grades and 20 times you fail automatically. What would happen to you if you were late that many times to your job?

Do we really care if a kid knows the formula for photosynthesis or is the real lesson we want them to learn is to have a sense of responsibility? Duval County sadly cares about neither!

What do you care about?

Is this what you envisioned when you voted for your school board representative? That kids could do whatever they wanted to, whenever they wanted to, and experience zero consequences for their choices? That they would pass just because?

How haven’t we said, enough already?

Our school system isn’t just sad it is pathetic but it doesn’t have to be that way. We could do great things if we had the will to do so. If we just said, hey lets do things the right way.
