Atmosphere: You are given a great deal of autonomy and freedom in my class and it is best for all of us when discipline is not an issue. Most students act with maturity and exercise self control, which makes the class run efficiently and with a positive, humorous tone. If necessary, I will remind you of to change your behavior but IÕll tabulate those reminders.

Consequences: Although I am usually accepting of a wide range of class behaviors, I do have limits, especially when I feel taken advantage of. Therefore, the following negative consequences are given to those that need them.

• Three reminder in a day cause removal from class, B.A.D. N.E.W.S. (Behavior Adjustment Directive/Notice of Extra-curricular Work Service) tasks to be assigned, and reduction of privileges.
• Excessive class time missed due to behavior is made up after school.
• Whole-class consequences are class-specific and flexible.

Please act in accordance with the essence of my expectations and control yourself so I don't have to.
