What rules do you have for your classroom?
"My classroom rules are: show up to class, respect your teacher and classmates, do the homework, check your work, and follow the techniques taught in class. I tell my students it's okay to do things their way if they've already learned the concept. However, I ask them to try the method I provide because it may be faster and more accurate, and maybe they will learn a method they didn't know about before."
