Welcome to my classroom you little so and so.

This meme is going around the web again. I thought I would comment:

It reads:

Notice to All Students

Leave the excuses at the door.

If you didn’t do your homework, just admit it.

If you didn’t understand the assignment, ask for help.

If you didn’t study for the test, accept the grade and resolve to do better (with my help if necessary) next time.

If you refuse to follow my rules, accept the consequences.

This is not a democracy.

This is MY classroom:

I am here for one reason and one reason only:

TO TEACH YOU

TO INSPIRE YOU

TO HELP YOU GROW

I’ll do my part. The rest is up to you.

Wow. Imagine being a kid in that class or that campus. How welcoming, How friendly. I really want to go to that school!

It reminds me of the challenge that George Couros gave to administrators when he asked them to walk around the campus and count the number of posters that told kids that they COULD NOT do something: Don’t bring your cell phone. Don’t be late. Don’t be absent. Don’t forget your books.
