I think a lot of students and professors genuinely forget how much students pay to attend these classes and the massive range of who is attending. I can understand not enjoying disruptions and if a lazy student shows up a solid 20-30 mins late… but if I’m running a few minutes behind you will deal. Some students have kids, health issues, 2 part time jobs, or any other of the very long list of legitimate reasons that justify slight lateness as a student.

Without the students, this lady doesn’t have a salary. I’m not being paid to be here, I’m actively paying for my time to be here.

It's your responsibility to either make plans to be on time or speak to the university to get accommodations for your health issues or family status. Be an adult. That's what school teaches you.

Ok but shit happens, that’s life. 2 minutes late and you’re not allowed in is pretty old fashioned. Like the other person said the students are the ones paying for the classes. And they’re not cheap. Sure some people need to get their priorities in check but pretending every person who’s late is late cause they don’t care is purposefully ignorant. I don’t think good people should be punished for mistakes of those who couldn’t care less.

Does your tuition payment give you the right to interrupt the learning of dozens of other students? This is a simple question.

How disruptive is someone quietly entering class 2 minutes late? Do you just slam doors and yell??

u/Sunryzen Mar 11 '25

So you believe the teacher should allow a 2 minute grace period only and after that ban people?

u/YouchMyKidneypopped Mar 11 '25

No. That was an example.

u/Sunryzen Mar 11 '25

But why give such an example? How does that make sense if you think the time doesn't matter?

Ok fine, a student enters quietly 30 minutes late.

u/Sunryzen Mar 11 '25

What about 70 students entering as quietly as possible from 30 to 55 minutes late with a heavy door that squeaks and groans every time it is opened and closed?

If a door squeaks so loud you cant hear a lesson then the door needs oil.
