CLASSROOM Dos and Don'ts

Things you should "not" be doing inside the classroom


After years of teaching experience, I have made a list of Dos and Don'ts
of polite behavior in the classroom. . .

BEFORE YOU EVEN COME TO CLASS. . …. A simple checklist!

Personal Things -(Necessary for living)
Learning Materials -It should be with me!
Physical Appearance-Do i look like a student?

Before you go to my class

1. RELIEVE YOURSELF (Mag CR na)
2. TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE (Bawal pati yan)

Big NO NOs. . .
1. ASSUMING THAT PERFUME/COLOGNE IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR BATHING : "Not Controling your Odor/Fragrance"

2. DOING HOMEWORK FOR ANOTHER CLASS DURING THE Discussion

3. WORKING ON YOUR SOCIAL CALENDAR DURING Lessons

4. PICKING NOSES, SCABS, OR ACNE AND CHEWING FINGERS

“Aside from being socially unacceptable, they’re usually done with the writing hand”

5. ASKING, "DO WE NEED TO KNOW THIS FOR THE EXAM?"
(Sorry, you have to know everything!)

6. ACTING LIKE YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE BETTER TO BE

11. YAWNING WITH AN OPEN MOUTH

12. WATCHING THE CLOCK

13. SLEEPING IN CLASS

“ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE DISTRACTING AND OTHERS AND SHOULDN'T BE DONE IN POLITE SOCIETY ANYWAY. These things MAY DRAW MY WRATH, RANCOR, IRE, RAPIER WIT, ETC.”

IT IS O.K. TO. . .
USE YOUR INTELLECT
QUESTION WHAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD
INTERRUPT TO ASK A PERTINENT QUESTION
INTERRUPT TO MAKE AN INTERESTING COMMENT
QUIETLY DRINK IN CLASS (Non-alcoholic beverages only, please!!!)

“A CLASS IS NOT SO LARGE THAT YOU CAN BECOME INVISIBLE, SO WATCH YOUR BODY LANGUAGE. SCOWLING, SLOUCHING, SLEEPING, YAWNING, OR OTHER OVERT EXPRESSIONS OF BOREDOM MAY DRAW ATTENTION; DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOUR TEACHER ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!”

I am currently looking to fill in the rest of the No No's list! If anyone has a good image or is willing to pose for one, just add a comment here!

Thank You For Reading!
