In order to motivate the students at Lakeview Elementary School to come to school prepared, students must show their teachers that they have all the supplies they need for the day before entering the classroom. Students who, for example, forget to bring in pencils, will be given pencils for the day, but a note will be made by the teacher. After notes of this sort are made on three consecutive days, students’ families will be sent notes alerting them to the situation.

Which of the following, if true, identifies a potentially serious drawback to the plan to motivate students to come to school prepared?

(A) Some parents believe that the school should not be supplying the students with materials if they are not prepared.
(B) Some teachers require their students to bring in more supplies than do other teachers.
(C) It typically takes 2 to 3 business days for the notes to be sent home to parents.
(D) The students who have expressed the most support for this plan are those who typically come to school prepared.
(E) Many students will only come to school prepared if they know that it is the day after they have had two consecutive unprepared days.
