One Human Race Blog: Classroom Rules Contract

Welcome!

Thank you for checking out our classroom blog! This class consists of juvenile offenders between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Students are incarcerated at the Jasper County Detention Center for different amounts of time, so the classroom is always changing. I created this blog to encourage communication between students and the teacher. This classroom believes that the choices we make dictate the lives we live. There may be consequences for our actions but there are always second chances. Responsibility is a huge factor in our classroom. We place much emphasis on learning to be responsible in the following areas: personal responsibility, at-home responsibility, community responsibility, and global responsibility. Responsibility leads to true happiness.

Classroom Rules Contract

These rules are specific and relevant to every student who enters the classroom. If you break at least one rule on this contract, you are exempt from the classroom for the remainder of your incarceration and your juvenile officer/probation officer will be notified immediately. Remember students, it is a privilege to be in the classroom.

1. Raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking.

2. Do not get out of your seat for anything unless I give you permission.

3. Keep hands and feet to yourself at all times.

4. Do not use profanity.

5. Use only words that encourage others. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all.

6. Do not discuss your personal case with the teacher or students in the classroom.

7. Always be on your best behavior and do your best work; you never know who is paying attention. There are two cameras in the classroom as well as an intercom system.

8. Do not exchange phone numbers or e-mail addresses with other students.

I agree to these rules and understand that if I violate any part of this contract, I will be completely terminated from the classroom, and my juvenile officer/probation officer will be notified immediately.

Blog Rules

One way we may demonstrate responsibility in the classroom is by following these blog rules. They are as follows:

1) Always be respectful of eachother's view points on this forum. If you don't agree with what someone says or thinks, be respectful in your responses.

2) Pay close attention to spelling and punctuation when participating on this forum. I recommend using a Word document before submitting your work on this forum.

3) Do not display any personal information on this forum. You must only submit material that directly relates to the topic we are discussing in class.

4) This forum is not a place to socialize or meet other people. All ideas and information should only be school-related topics. Under no circumstances, should you disclose any information pertaining to your legal case.

5) I will delete any comments that I feel are innapropriate or irrelevant to the topic.
