If there is even one incident of rude behavior, the entire class will serve five hours of detention. I am certain that this is a responsibility that no one would wish to shoulder. In this classroom we treat each other with respect and kindness. Please show one another and the substitute teacher how admirably you respond to the challenge called life. Thank you very much.Late Work Policy Any work not submitted on the due date will receive credit. Let me explain. Lets say your paper would receive 500 points out of 500wellif its late, it will score 250 points out of 500. This is NOT NEGOTIABLE. For illness to count as an excuse, I will need a phone conference with a parent, who will testify to me that you were ill, BEFORE I will accept the work for full credit.All make ups are on Tuesday mornings. They begin promptly at 7 AM in room 207. Failure to show = a zero.
