Dunno if OP got the idea from porn or a horror movie but it's not really relatable.

1 teacher, at least 30 students average- if the teacher just gave everyone a free pass any time they were late- what would the point of having a schedule be? But remember- there is a chain of command. Complaints go up, discipline goes down. Teacher is your “superior” in authority. When they are late- they answer to THEIR superior in authority- usually a principal or department head. Except where critical, a superior doesn’t dress down an authority figure in front of those they oversee- it undermines authority to subordinates. When a subordinate has reason to question a superior in authority- such as seeing a flaw in an order- it is generally best to approach the superior in private for the same reasons. Even if a superior makes an order in error based on unfair or incorrect information.

Approach them in private to discuss. Generally a superior cannot countermand an order that’s been given without undermining their own authority- but they CAN after the fact come back and say that changing information has led to a change in order. In most organizations you are more likely to get results this way- the ego and authority of the superior isn’t put in question in front of their command, and they have had more time to process and distance themselves from emotions in a moment. Make sure that in general you go to your DIRECT superior whenever possible- doing otherwise is often called “going over someone’s head” and may get short term results but might make it harder long term to work with the people you slighted.
