Tardies?

[Chlocolate]

In the film Clueless, there is a scene where the main character is in a debate class. What does the word Tardies mean?

[ABerrant]

Tardy = late.

Each time a student is late for lessons they receive a tardy slip. Each tardy is entered into the permanent record and a set number of tardies may result in detention or suspension.
