Reason for assignment ____________________________________________________________________ 

 

I understand that school is a place for learning. Every student in the United States is offered 12 years of free education. Not many other countries in the world offer this to their students. I understand that I choose how to use this time.  I can get an education and learn more about myself and the world around me, or I can waste this time.

 

I understand that (teacher's name) is responsible for many things. She needs to plan the art lesson and then do everything possible to help students understand the material. (Teacher's name) has a big job because it is not easy to help a class full of students.  When I misbehave, I am making it hard for her to do her job.  This isn’t fair and I don’t have the right to do this.

 

I understand that the other students in my class have a right to the best education possible.  When I misbehave, I not only keep the teacher from doing her job, I am also keeping students from getting the best education possible.  This is not fair and I don’t have the right to do this.

I understand that right now I am missing out on valuable art time.  Instead of learning, I am copying this lesson.  I understand that I made a decision to behave unacceptably in class and the consequence for this was being sent out of the room and writing this lesson.

 

I understand that I have the power to make good decisions or bad decisions.  When I make good decisions, I am rewarded.  In school, this means getting a good education and feeling good about myself as a student.  I understand that I deserve a good education and I have the power and responsibility to make this happen.
