It felt incredibly enforcing and even from the beginning when the contract was introduced it felt odd that it was so sudden and that we had no time to process the sudden change. This lack of time to think allowed myself to be tricked into signing the contract without possibly understanding the full repercussions.

While I was reading some of the rules that were presented as new rules for the class, I felt like it wasn't normal. However, I considered it as new rules that Mrs. Middleton is testing. On some of the rules, I thought of choosing disagree, but I chose agree because it could make the students more efficient.

I was very surprised by the rules and I was wondering what would happen if I said "I disagree". Sandy

very strict and it kind of divided people and isolated people

I thought that since school is a place where students learn by sharing their thoughts with other people, no class discussion or dividing students is an inappropriate way of teaching students in school. If we had no discussions, no talking, and divided groups, there is no purpose of coming to a school. (You could just homeschool) Sandy

# data[].attributes.body
I was confused because I was unsure if I had to agree or had the freedom to disagree.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the idea of non-fiction books every quarter, except for the part where you have to write a report. Reading a book is important, since you can easily learn new things. I think it would be a good idea to have students read books, but not requiring a book report.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't want to do book report

# data[].attributes.body
I felt as if it was kind of weird and I knew Mrs Middleton isn't that strict so I just agreed lol.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised at what it said in the contract and I was surprised that we had to do this since it was kind of the polar opposite to what we had been doing in the last semester

# data[].attributes.body
As I read the new classroom rules, I felt something strange. All the rules seemed to oppress us. However, since this is a rule made by my teacher, I was confused whether I should agree or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I did NOT want to write 2-3page reports about a book that I wasn't even interested in. Sandy

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the rules seemed quite strange because they were very strict and unlikely to happen at our school. I still said "I agree" to all the rules because I wouldn't have any other option even though there was an "I disagree" option.

# data[].attributes.body
As I read over the new class room rules, I thought that some rules were very unfair and different from other GSIS rules. Also, I thought that the teachers have created strict rules to really help improve our English. Although I disagreed with some, I selected "I agree" to all of the rules because I thought it was the only option I had in order to take English class.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was quite nice that we would finally begin reading novels in class as this is something that previous English classes failed to deliver.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I already have enough work to do from school

# data[].attributes.body
I read the first couple of rules and I was confused because it didn't seem like our normal English class, and as I read on, with the dividing of groups and other things, I was shocked and confused, but I still signed the rules because we are in school and I didn't want to go against the authority.

# data[].attributes.body
honestly I thought these rules were real and I was confused as to why these rules were being implemented.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't mind the reading part because I could read some books

# data[].attributes.headline
I thought that those rules were too strict and it didnt sound like Mrs.Middleton's rules

The one where you can't talk without permission because we should communicat in english class

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't mind the mandatory reading part since I usually don't read books unless I am forced to and I felt like this was a good way in order for me to read more books.

# data[].attributes.body
I believed that it was unfair to allow one group to receive extra help while the other would be forced to complete more than the other group. I felt that it was unfair to put ourselves into different levels after only being together for 1 semester, this time being too short for an adequate assessment of our skill levels and then deciding who goes where.

# data[].attributes.body
Because I usually don't read non-fiction books, I did not mind reading non-fiction books since I had to read more of those types of books.

Cultural Background & Class Discussion Rules (PeteR)

Cultural Background & Class Discussion Rules (PeteR)

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised when I saw this rule because it seemed like it didn't belong in Mrs. Middleton's class. Having class discussions and talking about cultural background can strengthen the bond between the class and the teacher, so I really disliked this rule.

# data[].attributes.body
Dividing the class into 3 different "levels" can be very discouraging for those who are maybe lower than the others, and the work that the teacher has to do increases too.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt to always be aware of what you sign because when you get older, as you try to sign with jobs and contracts, you might have accidentally required yourself to do something that you don't want to do. I honestly didn't read that much so I just agreed but after reading thoroughly, I learnt this valuable lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
None of the rules I really liked, but the motive was quite okay, because it was to make the class more respectful, so in that sense I guess the contract was okay.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that if the class got separated, it would be discouraging to the ones who are in the lower classes and I felt like from this, people who are in the lower classes would stay stuck in the lower classes while the higher classes would stay in their higher classes.

# data[].attributes.body
The division part of the rules were more concerning than the other rules because it is similar to judging everyone's language skills. The class notes was a personal preference because I usually try to remember things so I would know it better rather than forgetting the notes that I spent hours on.

# data[].attributes.body
I did question the legitimacy and fairness of the contract at first but after the teacher questions regarding it and hearing what I thought was "sound" reasoning I quickly was swayed and signed the contract. I think I've learned that I am too easily swayed and that I should question things around me more.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I have to read over the contract more thoroughly before I agree to it because I agreed without giving the rules much attention.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't like the groups idea, where you would be divided into different skill levels in English, and that you wouldn't be able to talk to the other groups. I didn't like this because if you were put in a lower group than others you could be looked down upon, and the classroom dynamic would change, also you couldn't talk to people in others groups which I found strange.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the mandatory reading rule because I tend to read when reading an assignment but not when I have free time.

# data[].attributes.body
i still disagree with the dividing into groups rule because it may disappoint some people if they are put into a lower group.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised because Mrs. Middleton was acting more like an abusive, manipulative dictator, instead of an actual teacher. All of the rules didn't fit with Mrs. Middleton's class, and I was surprised about how strict Mrs. Middleton was being with the rules.

# data[].attributes.body
It seemed like a good opportunity to have me reading books because I always try to persuade myself to read, and it almost never works. If the report could be shorter, I think this rule would be appropriate.

I learned somewhat of how those people under dictators are being manipulated and have to follow the rules against their own accord.

# data[].attributes.body
From this activity, I learned that I should always be careful when reading things such as contracts. I also learned that you shouldn't trust someone because you already know them before. I also learned that I should be more courageous at times because I was too scared to speak up and disagree with the rules that were being presented to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I liked the book rule, I didn't like the book report rule because we have done many analysis essays and I don't feel the need to write more essays each quarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the culture of the society can affect individuality. For example, such as myself, chose to agree with these rules because they believe that it would be better for ourselves, but some didn't.

# data[].attributes.body
I was reminded of the bad effects of the cramming education of Korea.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't usually read a lot of books, but if there is a mandatory reading rule, it will be an opportunity for me to read more books.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you should read carefully before agreeing or signing something, because once you do, there is no way back. I also learned that I should stand up for myself, and be more considerable with my time and decisions. I hated ALL of these rules, but since I had so much respect towards Mrs. Middleton, I came to agreement with the contract without thinking carefully.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I should carefully explain my opinion even when teachers put pressure on me to choose an option that is advantageous towards them.

# data[].attributes.body
I disliked the part about no discussing about topics of cultures or hobbies. This was the rule that I felt most surprised about because it is a bit too much forcing.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't want to that much long of a book report and also I don't have the confidence to write it well.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I should be careful when signing contracts. I should not sign the contract just because I'm afraid.

# data[].attributes.body
You can get in big trouble

# data[].attributes.body
Through this activity, I learned that I should always be careful when reading things like contracts. I also learned that no matter how much I know, I can't trust the person 100 percent. Also, I learned that I should have the courage to complain or deny injustice things without hesitation.
