CLASS RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

 

1) Come to class on time.

2) Come to class prepared (notebook, any assignments that are to be turned in, pencil, pen, sharpener, eraser).

3) Electronic devices are prohibited. You should not have any electronic device with you upon entering class.  Store them in your locker.  We will go through "Disconnect to Reconnect.

4) Cheating on any assignment results in a zero; this may result in previous assignments receiving a zero as a result of cheating (e.g. plagiarism).

5) Avoid any unusual behaviors when testing because such behaviors will be suspected to be an attempt to cheat.

6) You must make me think you are paying attention.

7) What I think is more important than what you tell me.

8) Do not interfere with classroom instruction.

9) The only beverages permitted in class are water and coffee.  In order to have coffee in my class you must have your parent's permission.  If you choose to have coffee please remember that it is too expensive to drink the varieties of chilled coffee. It is cheaper to learn to make your own and bring it to and from school in a thermos.

10) Use the bathroom between class periods.  During class, bathroom passes are given during the last ten minutes of class.

11) First and second periods: Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.  If you have religious objections then that is acceptable as you are exercising your right of conscience which is protected by Georgia's Bill of Rights: "Freedom of conscience. Each person has the natural and inalienable right to worship God, each according to the dictates of that person’s own conscience; and no human authority should, in any case, control or interfere with such right of conscience."

This is not a demand I am making a request.
