Respect
The teacher, each other and the equipment
Respect is something that should be given to every person you meet, that is called being respectful and is how you earn respect from other people.
Be on time
Get to class before the bell
Being on time shows your repect for other people and their time. It is impossible to be respected if you are constantly disrespecting other people.
Phone away
Learning requires participation
You have to be an active participant in your own education. If you can not respect yourself and your own future, how can anyone else do it?
Show effort
Effort = Everything
What you gain out of life will be a direct reflection of the effort that you put into it. If you are not doing the work for yourself, then why should other people?
Be kind
Kindness shows courage
Everyone is fighing a battle everyday by themselves. Happiness is not easy to attain and we could all use a helping hand getting there. Be helpful!!
Have Fun!
You really could be sitting in math class.
Enjoy and pay attention to the small things and little moments that make life the wonderful place that it is.
