No
cell-phones in class. If I see it or
suspect use, it is mine for the remainder of the day.

come to class on-time. If you are tardy
more than four times, you have earned detention, (cleaning desks is my
favorite!).

If someone else is sharing his/her ideas, you are listening. We are a learning community; please behave as
such.
