If you came to class 20 minutes late, then I think you should be required to make that 20 minutes up in your study hall class or directed studies or any other study-type program different schools have implemented. I don't think one solution would work for every single school (since a lot of school systems work differently) but I think a good place to start would be the student making up that time during school hours instead of after school hours which in my opinion negatively affects not only the teacher but the student as well.
I think that a peer system would work (kind of like a "Big Brothers, Big Sisters" type deal) where struggling students are paired with high-achieving students that volunteer to mentor their peers. Mandatory tutoring could also work, however, whether or not it will actually help the student academically I'd be skeptical of.

Thank you! I've always loved debating, so when I heard about DART I couldn't help but jump in on the fun!
