We are Family


Watching The Ron Clark Story, gave me a new look on things. The first rule he had in his classroom was everyone being family. That to me, is pretty important. No matter what happens at home, school life is and should be different. There isn't a need to do unwanted chores, or to be around tough home situations. The reason he put so much importance on this particular rule was to get a unity atmosphere going in order to get the class in order. A visual of the family feeling is when Matthew Perry, in The Ron Clark story, has everyone in his class light a candle. This is to symbolize the coming together of different people.

The Real Ron Clark
This story has inspired me to write a few rules myself.
  1.    When a someone is talking, all computors shut and cell phones away, that way there is awareness and involvement    without distraction.
  2. Honest is modest. Without honesty, the classroom can't function.
  3. Homework for other classes can be finished after the assignment for the current class is completed. On time.
  4. The best friends come from listening to each other. Talking out of turn can cut out the valuable information.
  5. Being prepared is a great way to be ready to learn about new things. There is always something to be learned with various objects.
