I'm not sure how the tardy system works at my schools but I know the school lunches are terrible. The lunches are provided by a private company that has a monopoly going on that prevents any one from getting food from outside sources like McDonald's and dominos. They even had the school store closed down because they just lose so much money from the school store serving better food compared to their crap and slop they serve. No one buys it and people would rather wait 2-3 hours until they get home. It is kind of sad and I have been avoiding school lunches at all costs by bringing snacks throughout the day to munch on and eat lunch when I get home. It's very disappointing and sad but companies should fail if they do not innovate and keep up with modern times by providing quality things instead of crap.

I don't know about your school but mine is pretty lenient on tardies and they allow us to get outside meals.

Our parents cant check us out of school over the phone anymore you have to have a fax'ed signature....

Well, why would you suspend someone who is missing class. That's literally contradicting your own rules. You want someone to get to school on time, so you make it to where you can't go to school at all.
