When are you free to talk on the phone?

I am free from 10:30-11 and 12:30-1, however, I am not necessarily in my room because of other 
teachers holding their classes in my room. You can always leave me a voice mail message and I will 
return your call as soon as possible.

Do you give detentions?

Administration decides if an infraction requires a detention. Usually, I will exhaust all other alternatives 
before I send a child to the office. These alternatives include private chats with student, seat change, 
private signals, etc.  If I send a student to the office, it is truly warranted.

Do you accept late assignments?

In some cases, no. In other cases, the score is lowered by one full letter grade for each day of lateness. 
After the 4th day, it's an F.
