WELCOME. (Class Outline)

[THOMAS MICHAL HOLMES]

welcome.

Welcome to my, Mr. Holmes's, classroom. I hope you will learn something that you will actually remember from me. What you are currently reading will explain the rules, procedures, grading, what you need, and the basic outline of this class. If you follow this to the very word then I might actually like you. Please, try to learn something and make this a useful day.

rules.

1.0

[/color][/size] RESPECT. You shall always treat Mr. Holmes with respect. He deserves it because he is your teacher, he has a doctorate, he is an adult, and he is undeniably smarter than you.
2.0 TARDINESS. Mr. Holmes will have none of it. You will either be on time or be left outside the locked door and be marked absent. The only exception is if you have a note signed by some sort of staff.
3.0 HAND RAISING. Raise your hand at all times if you wish to speak. Mr. Holmes will not speak to you if your hand is raised and will give you detention if you do it more than three times.
4.0 DIRECTIONS. Follow directions the first time they are given, they will not be repeated. You best write them down when said if you have a bad memory.
5.0 COMPLAINING. You shall never do this, it is wrong and annoying. Everything done by Mr. Holmes is fair, if you think otherwise then you are just lazy and annoying.
6.0 HANDLING OBJECTS. Dear God, do not do it without Mr. Holmes's permission, no exceptions!
7.0 THE DESK. You may never ever go behind Mr. Holmes's desk. Ever. If you do the expect to be dragged away by the ear.

9.0 ELECTRONICS. All electronics will be confiscated if seen and will not be released until the end of class. Any begging for it will result in it being held until the end of the day. No body may complain about Mr. Holmes using his in front of you.

Thank you for reading this. Now, please, either copy this down or ingrain it into your memories. I worked hard on making this represent what you all should be like. Now remember I, Mr. Holmes, am the best and most awesome teacher you will ever have.
