Every single morning, my daughter is the last one out and usually pushes it to the last minute, causing them to be in a rush.

Help?
Again, I'd discuss the issue with her, get her to come up with an approach to modifying her own behaviour.

Just let your husband wake him up everyday…

Family calendars work in our household. Here are the expectations day-to-day and anyone is free to argue that they're load is too much and then we potentially readjust. Once it's on paper or on a board, you better do what is expected unless you make alternate plans!

Waking up for school or work is a given. I'm not helping with that (but I've been known to listen in and make sure it happens). What would happen if you just let them miss school or miss the bus? Let them fail before succeeding.
They’re counted as truant, the parents can be arrested, CPS case opened and require court dates to show up to.

🤣🤣🤣 That's great! All through school, my sister would snooze her alarm for an hour. Every 5 minutes, the screaming from this loud shrieking thing would go off. Every. Single. Day. Just as I'd fall back asleep. I was on the other side of the wall.

If there was such a thing when we were young, she'd have gotten that for Christmas!
