practice respecting all persons, their thoughts, ideas, and property- This policy includes anyone who enters our
classroom at any time during the year. Should you disagree with any opinions put forth during a discussion, you must do
so respectfully. For example you might say, “I appreciate your opinion, however, my opinion is ...” All conversation must
adhere to this policy, in class and online.
