Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Remove yourself from the situation. You could also ask to go talk to your counselor. If you get yelled at, don’t run out of the classroom. Never leave the classroom without permission. This will only make your teacher angrier with you.

Detailed explanation-2: -Have the student write a letter of apology. Instead of giving them lines, have them recopy their notes from the class. Give them additional homework. Reduce their break time (depending on the school’s disciplinary code) or deprive them of a reward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Late-comers are usually punished. The punishment may include kneeling them down for some time, asking them to pick papers around the school buildings, giving them some portion of land/field to cut grasses or even some strokes of the cane on their palms or buttocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a student is habitually late, ask to talk to the student after class and express your concerns to him/her in private.” Other suggestions include starting class with an activity or with something that will intrigue your students.
