As much as I despise the term “C.P. Time”, its assumption does have some merit. Why is it that some of us feel that being on time is optional? Even more curious: Why would one consistently be late? Is this the result of the adoption of a disorderly lifestyle, or is it simply an indication of a lack of concern for others? Whichever the reason, being late is a big deal. It’s a big deal because our community has been stamped with the “we are always late” stereotype, which we continually support. If you can be somewhere at 6:05, you very well could’ve been there at 6. So what’s the problem? The problem is that we not only expect it, but worse; we accept it. No more! It’s the “little things” like tucking in a shirt, saying “Yes Sir”, and being on time that often make the difference. As parents, we have to set the example for our children. Otherwise, we are creating a generation of young people with no respect for order; and none of us wants that.
