Rules+of+the+Classroom

I'm not stringent on them, but please try to keep each of these in mind when coming into the classroom everyday:

1. **Come to class on time.** Try to put all conversations between classes aside to get to class on time. Getting inside seconds after the bell is STILL a tardy.

2. **Please attend the restroom before class.** There is a bathroom pass, but any time a student has to leave the classroom between lectures it may interrupt the flow and tempo of the class for that student and those around them. Please take care of your needs between classes to prevent this.

(To get the bathroom pass, please raise your hand. Do not just take it.)

3. **Do not eat food or drink during class.** Candy and small snacks are still FOOD, so don't try and sneak those around me. Try to curtail these desires until your designated lunch period or a time you're not in this classroom.

4. **Obscenities are not permitted within these walls.** Please show respect to the people around you and the english language by not using a list of very obvious words within my class and the school, for that matter.

5. **Bring your textbook to class every day unless instructed otherwise.** I will be bringing extras for those victims of circumstances, but if I feel my good will is being taken advantage of, then I will take even those away.

6. **Bring homework/assignments to the podium BEFORE the lecture begins.** It will vastly interrupt the tempo of the lecture, if you suddenly remember homework was due and you forgot about it. I'll be sure to remind everyone what's due, so do your part as well.

7. **Talk only when permitted.** There are times when it will be appropriate to communicate with those around you, when I'm speaking is not one of them.

My most important rule:

8. **DO NOT CHEAT!** Students that are caught cheating will have their assignment/test met with a zero and proper procedures will be followed including a call to the parents. Plagiarism will lead to the same results.

and of course...

9. **Follow the teachers instructions at all times.** Keep me happy and we'll all get along very well with each other!
