2. My Philosophy of Education
• “It is better to be prepared and not have an
opportunity, than to have an opportunity and not
be prepared.”- Sylvester Croom
o Everyone learns in a different way and by a different
method
• Aim high in everything that you do because
when you shoot for the moon, if you miss you
will still land among the stars.

3. Class Attendance
• Show up for class, PREPARED!!
• Class participation is a part of your grade.

4. My Grading Scale
• A- 100-90
• B- 89-80
• C- 79-70
• D- 69-60
• F- Below 60
• On all grades lower than a 70, corrections will be
allowed to be made once.

5. Homework Policy
• Homework will be assigned sparingly and will be
turned in for a completion grade.
• Test/Homework corrections, if not finished during
class will be homework.
• Test/Homework Policy- Any corrections that are
assigned will be due the next class from which
they are assigned.
• If corrections are not turned in on time, the
original grade will be recorded.

6. Dress Code
• I heavily enforce the dress code
• Pet Peeves
- Hats being worn when they are not
approved.(Especially hats worn backwards)
- Pants sagging
- Clothing with offensive or inappropriate language
IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU PRESENT
YOURSELF!
