                He/she comes to class on time with the expected materials. He/she is

                discussion if called upon. He/she listens to class discussion.
0 = 69          ACCIDENTAL TOURIST - has a habit of daydreaming, often finding it
                difficult to respond to a teacher's question because he/she is lost in
                thought.[In the case of this type of student, as with the socialite/class
                clown or disruptor, speak to this child in private regarding this grade.
                Teacher call to parent may be necessary.]
-1 = 59         SOCIALITE / CLASS CLOWN - treats the classroom as an opportunity to
                catch up on "what's happening" around town or to get attention at the
                expense of disrupting the class. He/she regards "learning" as
                secondary to advancing his/her personal interests. He/she occasionally
                listens to class discussion, but is always ready to give his/her "two-
                cents" opinion about what he/she is actually unprepared to discuss in
                depth.
-1.5 = 55       DISRUPTOR - exhibits unhelpful behaviors. He/she is late and
                unprepared for class on a regular basis. He/she presents a belief that
                there is nothing more to be learned. His/her idea of a successful class
                is provoking an emotional reaction from someone; it doesn't really
                matter whether it is laughter, anger, or disgust.
