Untwo-perce- like the comical version written by the Guest Writer. The Guest Writer, who I am assuming is one of the principals here at Layton High, wrote, If a student is tardy only sometimes, their grade shouldnt be seriously affected. He is sadly mistaken. Forexample; last year in my Biology class, I earned a "B but because I was a few seconds late three times that term, I received a C." ONE TERM my grade point average was 2.1. Out of curiosity I went around to all of my teachers and asked them what my grade was before they took the two-perce- nt off for tardies. I added them together and figured out the grade point average had really earned. 1 . rung. This occurred twice that week. That means I will have four percent taken off my academic grade because of nature. class have been late more than I CANNOT remember a where I three times per term if at all (except f5r first period). But one or two tardies in a few classes add up and ruin a students grade. The Guest Writer felt that since the IRS expects punctuality so can he. What I would like to know is. does the IRS have a bell that rings at exactly 8 a.m. and if they walk in anytime after that bell has rung, do they get two percent knocked off their paychecks? I highly doubt it. Since the employers apparently have more common sense than the and public relations, research, administrates here at Layton political issues, budget, candidate High.

New members of the Chamber include His and Her Hair Haven, Larry Duckworth, owner; J&L RV Supply with Jim and Lynnetta Cottrell owners andThe Outlet, Bryce Caldwell, owner. THE LATEST report on the Main Street project of Kaysville reconstruction is that it is very unlikely any construction will take place in 1985. Because of the time taken up already in the decision making process, if Kaysville is given approval for 1985, the bidding and contract awarding process will take up too much of the construction season to allow the project to be completed this year. The past month has been spent organizing and developing a coupon booklet to be used by tourists in the area. The tourism committee and the Chamber Board felt like Kaysville is losing a lot of tourists dollars because those visiting the area do not know what Kaysville has to offer. Distribution of the booklets is scheduled for June 1. THE CHAMBER of Commerce get off their two-perce- paychecks when they are late, so why should the students get taken off their academic grade for doing the same thing our teachers have done. two-perce- I AM grateful for two teachers I have had here at Layton High who agree with the students and see our point of view concerning this matter. They have seen how taking off for tardies has ruined students grades and are willing to work with us. One lets the students come in after school and work ten minutes for each tardy, then it gets erased. This teacher also gives three free tardies each term. After that, the student will have to either work them off or receive off downtown merchants cooperate with each other in solving the park- ing problem. The city parking lot, which has been offered without restriction by the city, is available to take pressure olf Main Street and store front his grade. THE OTHER teacher takes two points off the students final term points, for each tardy. Which isnt as damaging. These teachers will most likely continue to do so as long as the principles dont find out. That is why they must remain nameless. There are other ways to punish us for being tardy, besides destroying our grades. grade point average, but with twelve percent taken off, he will have a 2.8 or a C plus on his report card and other school records. They do add up, and do destroy students grades. Most of the students would be willing to work them off, but we are not allowed to. My parents agree and support me on this matter. They want to see the grade I worked for and earned on my report card. Not the one I am punished for. UNLIKE YOU Guest Writer, of Be on Time or Take a Grade Cut, I am not afraid to sign my name.
