I was just reading my son's Student/Parent Handbook and it says, "It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that the student is at school on time." |

Interesting. Ours does not. And I know that the hanhalah supports us in making him responsible for it. It does seem to me that it doesn't teach a child responsibility to make it the parents' achrius at the high school level. Most boys his age aren't even at home! |

DH puts alarm clocks and sleeps through them. The whole house wakes up, but he continues sleeping.So I just turn off his alarm clock every night so we can get some sleep, and I wake him myself when the kids wake up. If he doesn't get up, I let Gedalya loose on his bed. Maybe try that with Batsheva? ;) lol |

Ds is 13 y.o. going into 8th grade. Maybe they figure if the parents feel responsible, we'll make sure they learn to do it on their own. :dontknow |

The day schools, yes, I understand that you can make it the parents ultimately responsible. Though when I was talking with my mom, she reminded me that they gave me a clock/radio in 4th or 5th grade and that was when they stopped waking me up! |

He got up on his own, but missed his ride. Oh well, biking to school is good exercise. |

As a parent, I would remind you that just because you have "success" once does not mean you should not expect relapses. He may "experiment" with the biking option on and off for a while, until the weather gets bad and he realizes that a heated car is the best way... |
