How do I get an "A" in your classes?

It's very simple! All you need to do is turn in all homework and

to class prepared to work, learn, participate, and contribute in 
a POSITIVE manner.

What if I am absent? How do I get my makeup work?

You first must ask! I will NOT come and find you to give you your 
assignments. You need to ask me and also check the assignment 
board in my room the day you return to school, even if You don't 
have me on that day. Next, after you complete the work, make sure 
you turn it in! You are allowed one extra day for every day you 
miss.

I can't read 40 books by the end of the year. How many points will I lose?

First of all, I believe you CAN read 40 books. My answer is "keep 
reading"! Don't think about the points you may or may not lose, 
think about the opportunities you will miss by not reading all 
those books. So, KEEP READING! You may be surprised at the end of 
the year!
