To be respectful means showing kindness to peers and family, being polite to substitutes, keeping neat for custodians, and being a good listener for teachers. It also means stopping talk when teachers are talking, listening to instructions from teachers and parents, doing homework and chores, and obeying rules from those in authority. Demonstrating respect also involves helping friends with homework, not making a mess at their homes, assisting new classmates, and supporting teammates even if they take your position.
