Classroom Rules

There are many different classroom rules from around the world. I thought it would be fun to take a look at those before I list my rules.

Japanese Classroom:

1. When the teacher enters, rise and bow. Greet the teacher in unison.
2. Come to school prepared with pencils, erasers, pens, paper and textbooks.
3. Raise your hand to answer questions. Stand before answering.
4. Be quiet during class.
5. Keep to the right in the hall. No running.
6. Help clean the classroom, halls and yard. Pick up trash, sweep floor and yard, and stack chairs before anyone leaves.

Chinese Classroom:

1. Cooperate with your classmates. Show group spirit.
2. Respect your teachers and obey them without question.
3. Be courteous at all times. Don't fight.
4. Don't be late. Don't miss school. Listen carefully in class.
5. Join in after-school activities.
6. Protect school property.

Soviet Classroom:

1. Don't embarrass your school or class.
2. Obey your teachers, principal and parents without asking questions.
3. Come to school on time, clean and neatly dressed and prepared.
4. Keep your desk clean.
5. Stand when the teacher enters or leaves.
6. Raise your hand to ask or answer a question. Stand straight while reciting.
7. Make notes of all assignments. Show the notes to your parents. Do your homework without help.

Now I don't think my rules are quite that interesting or entertaining. However, because of the computers in the room we will follow them pretty strigently.

1. Be respectful and courteous to anyone in the room.
2. Follow directions.
3. No horseplay.
4. Come prepared each day to class. (Textbook, paper, writing utensil)
5. Complete assignments on time.
