When I do not follow directions I put myself and others in situations that could potentially harm us. I also realize that it is my teacher’s responsibility to maintain classroom management and to teach my fellow classmates. When I do become disruptive and do not follow the rules that Pierce County High School has set forth for me, I am causing conflict in the classroom as well as hindering the learning of my classmates.
