having our late time be at 7:40 is crazily early, the sun is practically still rising at that time. no student should marked late for coming in FIVE (5) minutes after the first bell.

people are still on buses or are on the way to school at this time, punishing those who live far away or have their way of transportation out of their hands is absurd. 

coming in after 7:40 almost always guarantees you'll be even later to class/homeroom than you initially were due to you having to wait for upwards of FIFTEEN (15) minutes to create a late pass since there's nineteen (19) other people in line with you.

 it's a very stupid decision on the administrations end, the tardies have 100% tripled ever since this went into effect. 

I pray they listen before the tardies get worse.
