General Classroom (and life) Rules:
1. THE GOLDEN RULE: Treat others as you would like to be treated, always.
2. Respect the opinions of others, even if you don't agree. Freedom of
speech makes our country great. If you have another view, express it without
putting the other person down.
3. There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for name calling, foul language, or
derogatory speech in the classroom.
4. Don't interrupt; it is disrespectful. Jot down your idea so you don't
forget it, listen to the person who is speaking, and contribute when it is
your turn.
5. Our classroom should be a place where everyone feels comfortable,
confident, and safe. Anything which threatens this atmosphere (verbal or
physical) will result in disciplinary action.
