100
It's okay to read on my phone during silent reading.
NO!
100
We have tons of homework in class.
No, it's almost 100% done in class.
100
During lunch I should come in early and hang out.
I love you all, but please leave me alone during lunch!
100
The comfy chair in back is free game!
No, it's not. It's for teachers only and maybe if I let you during Fun Friday.
100
I can drink water in class.
Absolutely. But water only.
200
If I get a snapchat I should wait until after class to check it.
Yes!!!!
200
Mr. Birkeland wants me to succeed and do well.
Absolutely! I would love it if every student in here had an A!
200
It's normal to need to use the bathroom and get a drink during EVERY class.
No, it's not. If you abuse the hall pass, I will make the Hall Pass rule, and it sucks.
200
It's okay to move desks and make a new design with the desks.
No, it's not. I want the desks to stay how I put them.
200
What happens if I eat food and leave a mess.
You stay after to clean it up and the whole class gets a new rule for food.
300
If I need to call my mom/dad in an emergency it's okay.
Yes, just ask me first.
300
Talking to my neighbor when I'm not supposed to will lower my grade.
Um, yes. That was kind of a silly question.
300
It's cool to have your phone out, then say "I'll put it away" and then pull it back out 5 seconds later.
No, it annoys me a lot and makes me want to lower your grade a lot.
300
I can sit with my friends as long as I'm not a problem.
Obviously, that's great!
300
I can chew gum as long as I don't make big bubbles or annoy people.
That's fine with me.
400
It's against the school code of conduct to take a picture of somebody without them wanting me to.
That is true.
400
I can do extra credit.
No, but you may redo assignments that you did poorly on.
400
Play fighting or wrestling is okay if we're both just having fun.
No, it's not okay and it will not be tolerated. Don't touch other people.
400
If I'm done with an assignment, walking around the room is a good idea.
No, it's not.
400
Cavetime is a time to come in and relax in Mr. Birkeland's class.
No, I'm sick of kids coming in and doing nothing. Come to work or don't come.
500
I can charge my phone somewhere during class.
As long as you ask me first and don't touch it during class it's okay.
500
It should be easy to get an A in Reading.
Yes! Just show up, follow the rules, and do your work!
500
I can listen to music on my ipod whenever I want since it's not bothering anybody.
Not true. You can't have headphones in unless I say it's okay. (which I probably won't)
500
If I beg Mr. Birkeland to move my seat he will.
No, he won't. He will just get annoyed.
500
Hats and beanies are comfy and Mr. B is cool, so I can wear them in class.
Nope, it's part of the dress code of the school, so not in class.
