Chewing Gum

I am writing this assignment because I was chewing gum in school. My teachers have told me

that gum chewing would not be allowed, but I was chewing it anyway.

The rule about chewing gum appears in the Student Code of Conduct. It states, "Chewing gum

is not allowed on campus due to damage caused to carpets and furniture."

Writing this assignment is one of the ways my teachers are reminding me that it is against

school policy to chew gum while in school. I am also aware that the next time I am caught,

there will be further consequences.

I know that chewing gum at our school is against the rules and that if I choose to chew gum

anyway, I am willfully breaking the rules.

Late to Class

You are being disciplined for being late to class. Read this improvement lesson. The purpose of

this lesson is to help you improve your behavior.

Why Being Late to Class Is Wrong

When you are late to class, you are not being considerate of others. It is hard for your teacher

to start teaching when everyone is not present.

Coming into class late also disturbs every one. Other students have to wait until you get your

materials ready. Your teacher may have to tell you what page to turn to or what happened

while you were not there.

By not being on time, you miss information that you might need later, and you disturb others.

Manners

Good manners are not only a natural expression of kindness and consideration; they are a

passport to the affections of others. Did you ever notice how many popular girls and guys seem

to have natural grace and polite manners? Not "people pleasing," but a warm approach and

style when socializing or just being with friends.

Sloppy or rude manners don't lead to popularity. They just turn people away or turn them off.

People still get judged by their manners. First impressions still count a lot. Since not everybody

has time to really get to know how wonderful you are underneath, chances are you will often

be remembered by your manners instead.

It's unlikely that any attractive guy or girl will ever tell you how your sloppy manners or crude

behavior quickly killed their interest in you. But, like it or not, your manners will have a lot to

do with how you make it through life, at play, at work, as well as in love.

Classroom Behavior

Classroom behavior is essential to creating a successful learning environment. Proper behavior

should be maintained throughout an entire school.

When students are in the hallways they are to walk in an orderly manner and speak in a low

voice especially during class time. When traveling around the school, all students must walk,

for safety reasons. Plus, no running is allowed in the hallways. When students are on school

property, they are to respect other students, the school staff, and themselves.

Our school is a wonderful school. All those involved in the education process need to be

reminded that education is a privilege not to be used! Teachers are here to teach, and students

are here to learn. No one should be allowed to interfere with that process.

As students, we have a very high calling at our school, one that can be reached. We need to do

our best to take advantage of the wonderful experience we have to learn. Learning is the most

important thing in life, something that can be fun, but not to be taken lightly.

Learning from Mistakes

We usually take pride in being as accurate as we can with most things we do. It makes us feel

good to be successful.

The school is a place where you can make mistakes and learn from those errors without

suffering harsh penalties. Certain mistakes can be expected and therefore overcome rather

easily. However, larger problems, such as breaking major school rules (like fighting) should not

be viewed as acceptable. Corrections to such mistakes need to be made quickly by the student.

The real key is having the desire (motivation) to change the way you behave. After you decide

that you want to improve, it helps to set several goals. Goals can help guide you toward

meeting the new expectations that you have for yourself.

The best advice we can give you is to begin looking at what you can do to improve. Set some

goals to help yourself bring about positive change.

Silliness

What Did I Do?

I was being annoying by acting silly.

How Does My Actions Affect the Class?

When I clown around during a serious part of class, it distracts other members of the class.

They have to stop learning and listen to the teacher deal with me. Other students are

negatively affected by my actions. They want to learn, but it makes it harder to learn when I

am clowning around.

How Do My Actions Affect Me?

By my silliness, I show how immaturely I can act. The teacher loses respect for me and has to

treat me like a small child. I know I am not a small child, but I will get treated like one when I

continue to be silly. The teacher might have to call my parents, and I could be punished.

What Should I Have Done?

I should keep my silly thoughts and actions to myself or tell a friend during lunch or after

school.

What Will I Do Next Time?

I will stop annoying the class with my silliness. If I have trouble controlling my silliness, I will tell

the teacher so we can resolve the problem.
