SPANISH 1 - CLASS RULES
“Let the teachers teach, let the learners learn”.
Respect, Responsibility, Safety, Behavior and Honesty
1. RESPECT other people, other people’s ideas and other people’s things, the same way you want them to respect you, your ideas and your things.
2. RESPONSIBILTY for learning, behavior, and attitudes is yours. Your parents and friends won’t study or learn for you. The success you experience will only be yours. Own up to your own responsibilities!
3. SAFETY is part of you being responsible. Take care of yourself, the people and things you care about.
4. BEHAVIOR – No horse-playing - running, standing on chairs, etc., etc. No foul language in English or Spanish (or any other language). If you don’t know what it means, Do Not Say It!
5. HONESTY – If you try with effort, you will be successful! Cheating is like lying and it leads to many more problems. Do the best you can on your own, and you will be Ok!
