I will treat with respect those adults, both teachers and parents that are in authority over me during the school day. This means I will accept judgments and directions, of teachers and parents, with a teachable, humble spirit. Also, I will attempt at all times to have a cooperative attitude. See Isaiah 66:2b; 1 Peter 5:5b; and Scriptural Objective #3.
I will respect and uphold the physical and emotional well-being of others. This means there will be no physical violence or unkind words or actions taken against another. Scriptural Objective #4.
I will respect the rights of others to learn. This means that I will not make noises or in any other way disturb the atmosphere of the classroom during quiet study times or special instructional times. See Proverbs 25:28 and Philippians 2:4.
I will respect the right of others to carry on an undisturbed conversation.
I will treat others with courteous behavior. This means I will use my best manners. I will make a special effort to say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me." I will try not to walk in front of others or place myself first in line, always considering others more important than myself. See Philippians 2:3 and Scriptural Objective #4.
I am accountable for my own actions. This means I will accept the consequences of poor behavior as well as the rewards for good behavior. I will not make excuses or blame others for my actions and responses. It also means that in an effort to reflect the attitudes of Christ, I will seek to do good for others at all times. See 1 Corinthians 10:24 and Romans 14:12.
