There will be numerous thought provoking issues and ideas introduced and discussed during class. Some will inevitably stimulate controversy, some may strike a chord with you, and some may challenge your perceived view of the world. The classroom is a forum for learning, analyzing and examining ideas; it is not intended to be an arena in which the loudest voice prevails. Be considerate of your classmates, especially when you disagree with their views. Avoid using profanity, epithets, stereotypical references, etc. Use logic and reasoning to debate your point. There will be no tolerance for disrespectful behavior towards anyone. All inappropriate behavior will generate a call to your parent/guardian. Continual classroom disrupting behavior will be referred to the office for school discipline. Expectations:
- Be respectful
- Students are to be in their assigned seats when the bell rings. The bell is your signal to begin the days work .
- Students are expected to ask questions (raise your hand, please don't just call out).
