Instead In-stead of waiting until the last moment to make up your tardies and sluffs, you now have to make them up before the week is over or your parent par-ent or legal guardian will have to reinstate you into the school. "I love it, and I hate it," comments Kris Haderlie referring re-ferring to the new policy. This seems to be common feeling about the new policy. poli-cy. Most students believe the new policy is helpful because be-cause it makes them get their detentions done and over with.
