Expectations
At any level of high school, it is reasonable to presume that every student has had enough time to practice the good manners that their parents and Kindergarten teacher impressed upon them. For upperclassmen--Juniors and Seniors--this is doubly true. You know better than to chew gum in class or talk while someone else is speaking.
Therefore, I will respect your maturity by not giving you a detailed list of "things not to do." I trust that you will return that respect by not doing those things in the first place. If not, please be aware that disruption of the learning environment or violation of school rules will be dealt with immediately. Conversely, your positive contributions to the learning environment and good citizenship will be noted in your favor.
When you enter Room 316, class has begun. You have five minutes of passing time, and I will not be insulted if you finish your conversations outside so long as you enter the room before our start time and with the mindset of a diligent student. Your first action is always to retrieve your folder, and my signal that instruction has concluded will be to tell you to return the folders.
Let's create and maintain an environment of learning and fascination!
