Rules+3+B's


 * Martinson’s 3__B__’s **


 * 1) ** __B__e Respectful **

Everyone has bad days. Sometimes we will get on each other’s nerves. However, it’s still important to be respectful to each other in the classroom. Respect includes the following:


 * **Respectful language and volume**: Say “Be quiet,” not “Shut Up”. Don’t cuss or shout. My name is Mr. Martinson, not “Man” or “Son” or “Mo”.
 * **Respectful behavior**: Keep your hands to yourself. No hitting. Raise your hand when appropriate. Don’t talk when I or another student is talking. If you are doing group work you should only talk to members of your own group unless directed otherwise.
 * **Respectful of the classroom:** This room is not a Go-Go. This room is a learning environment, so let’s treat it that way. Men, keep your feet off the desks and your Parkdale shirts on. Ladies, you all look good, so there is no need to reapply makeup during class. **Leave your** **I-Pods and cells in your pocket.**


 * 1) ** __B__e on Time **

Class begins when the bell rings. If you come after the bell without a pass you are tardy – no exceptions. If you are tardy you will receive a deduction from your daily points. Excessive tardies results in a phone call home. **Also if you consistently come back late from lunch you will get a bad grade.**


 * 1) ** __B__e Positive and hardworking **

Some of you may not like history. Some of you would prefer to have your fingernails pulled out than study the French Revolution. I am going to do my best to make World History an interesting and creative class. So even if you are having a really, really bad day when you come into our classroom you still need a right attitude. I reward hard-work, **__ SO TRY!!!!!!!!!! __** If you bomb a test, but you are a hard worker and re-take the test, then I will emphasize your hard work when it’s time for grading. If you bomb a test and you are lazy, there is nothing I can do for you.
