Cleaning Procedures in My Class: Thus Far, #1 Originally: Created By Prestome Ungyobrock
I want to try and create a level playing field. I enjoy the changing teaching industry. That moves from selected subjects and censored content to actual freedom. Note: Having diversity in the classroom when it comes to personalities is what keeps students growing. I disagree with the teachers who use punishment and being assertive as their instructional philosophy. Just talking helps create a level playing field in the classroom. I never want my students to feel they are dictated to. I don’t support the ideas of Nazi Regimes. Students should-be welcome with all and any ideas they may possess relating towards their goals. I highly support student use of technology. I will try and use technology in my classroom as much as possible. Teachers who restrict technology use are only hurting their students. If the student doesn’t have a cell phone I suggest trying to get them one for education. That is fact, and something I have argued my entire life since grade school. I dislike the idea of any authority figure taking your property away. That is unethical and illogical. If you want to take a phone call, at any time, just take a step on outside and try and keep your phone on vibrate. Technology is great for helping with your missing work: respect technology. State Tests: there will be a few Government tests, where the government wants to see what you know. For those tests which I will tell you about ahead of time, Ill give everyone a moment to just turn your phone off. To give you total focus.. The state tests will probably be the only time where Ill ask you to turn off your phones or other electronic devices. When you finish the state test(s): just stand up, turn it in, and then leave the class. So that others can continue to focus, and you can relax for a bit outside of class. Bathroom/Water/Food. There will be a pass or two available just look for the pass availability. When its available just take the pass and go anytime. If you are unable to return to class, that is unfair to other who may need to go to the bathroom during class. So be respectful and just do what you need to do. I don’t mind food or drink in the class. Just clean up after yourself, small food items are preferred for snacks in class. If your going to make a mess in the class, you need to clean it up. I’ll try and keep cleaning supplies in the class all year. So cleaning up should-be very easy. If the mess is really big, or the kids refuse to clean up: the entire class will have to stay in his class longer thus being late for their next class. Or the student(s) misbehaving will get a call to parents or even have to stay after school via detention(time will be discussed).. Perhaps if its just 1 student maybe we can arrange that student to help out the school janitors after school. That of course is the most severe. Cleaning Up after ones self is very basic and isn't limited to genders. I don’t really think that telling kids/teenagers/adults to clean up after yourself/themselves has a negative aspect. Clean up is important though-out the day. If a mess is made rather accidental or purposely, they need to clean it up, then and there. If the student doesn't know how to clean up they can be partnered with someone who can help teach them how to clean up. Just simply being tidy Its a good practice that starts in grade school that works just as good in 8th grade as it did then. Being sort of civilized is something a child can handle, any sort of teenager or semi adult should be able to handle the simple task of having a snack. If kids can’t handle having a snack or eating successfully, then they will probably have a really difficult time in life. I don’t like bullying. Please refrain from insulting other students physically or verbally. People are born different and everyone is trying to learn. You don’t need to be friends with everyone but you don’t need to attack them either. Do more thinking then those of the middle ages. Don’t steal other people’s stuff. To help with that make sure you have a way to confirm that something is yours before going to class. Such as a password on your computer/phone/etc that only you know. Don’t share your passwords with other people. A friend is a friend: they are not you. So they don’t need to access your stuff. Often a good idea to write your name on your sports equipment, water bottles, snacks, notebooks, hats etc before class. Note: stealing as an adult (such as trying to steal someones car) will lead you to jail time and a criminal record that will hurt the rest of your life.. If you want to check out one of my library books, there will be a fee of $10.00. Then a sign out sheet where you can write your name and the book tittle that you want to barrow. When the book is returned and isn’t destroyed then you will get your $10.00 back. If I don’t get the book back then you don’t get your money back. This is a simple and great way to get you used to how society works. You can only barrow one book at a time. If your reading skill is beyond mine then you could technically read every book in the classroom and still get your money back. So the option of available knowledge in my class is far beyond the available information that was available in my time in school. School Shouldn’t be Jail. Again Freedom, the content in the books will be according to their authors. The class books are just extra reading. Books contain all the information in the world. That’s how it is I don’t control what other authors write. Its good to expand your interests. For writing assignments I would prefer them typed. The idea for most of the assignments will be to give your opinion. In life there are typically more then 1 right answer. When looking at information on the internet or in a book, remember to avoid plagiarism by picking your favorite way to cite that resource. Either APA, Chicago, or MLA. I also like to save the trees. So sending the assignments via internet is preferable to printing everything. Its better for the environment and also goes back to the importance of technology and my full support towards using it. The internet is one of the best forms of community. If there is a pledge of allegiance, I don’t care if you stand or sit. If they are religious related prayers I don’t care if you participate. If there is a fire drill perhaps let the girls go first and walk out in an orderly fashion since pushing each-other trying to fit though a door doesn’t help anyone. If the school is going into lock down its for your own safety since there is a dangerous person or event happening on campus. The cops and school security supposed to take care of the problem. A lock down can happen at any time and can even extend the amount of time you are at school. More information will be presented to you regarding such events. |
