Ground Rules
Ground rules are a general list of "rules" that the class has come up with. Because this class is more student-led that other classes, we also took it upon ourselves to make our own rules for ourselves, instead of accepting the normal "school rules" that other classes adopt.
- Respect people's thoughts and ideas
- Keep in mind that different people have different opinions and views on life.
- Keep an open mind
- Accept and consider what other people believe and say.
- Be ready to challenge what and how you look at yourself and the world.
- One speaker
- Listen to what is being said, and don't interrupt.
- Respect people's privacy
- We all have things we wouldn't want everyone else to know.
- What happens in 180 stays in 180
- Be responsible and willing to work
- The class will accomplish little if we aren't all giving 100%.
