4. Classroom
Rules

5. Classroom Rules Love and Logic
I will treat you with respect, so you will know how to treat me.
Feel free to do anything that doesn’t cause a problem for anyone else.
If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it.
If you can’t solve the problem, or chose not to, I will do something.
What I do will depend on the special person, and the special situation.
If you feel something is unfair, whisper to me,”I’m not sure that’s fair,” and we will talk.
