  10. My policy towards cutting • DON’T CUT…I will catch you. Trust me on that one.

  11. MY #1 RULE DO NOT TALK WHEN I AM TALKING Respecting this rule will make things run much smoother in here !

  12. My policy on lateness • Three lates = after school detention with me • If you have to explain to me why you are late, save it for the end of class • The most important thing to me is if you are late, don’t make things worse by talking, just get to work = )
