Just like adults there are punishments for being late in school and if it's not their fault they will still get in trouble for it. I believe this is an actual issue that should have real world consequences. In my eyes this is a serious issue the causes stress, makes other students late for class, and is dangerous. Now I know that not everyone has the problem at hand, but it is most definitely a common situation and is even a pet peeve to some. If something like this were to happen often enough it could cause serious stress in people.

However, what if the person walking in just started shooting people?…
