Purpose and Policies

Purpose:
I am maintaining this blog for my 7th and 8th grade students as an additional resource to help them with their assignments. You will find useful tutorials, helpful hints, and even occasional reminders. You will also find examples and homework helpers. You will probably find this useful all year, but especially during our Science Fair "season." Although you have your instruction packet, you will likely want additional help, which you can find here. I am also happy to answer questions about problems you are struggling with, but please understand that I cannot always answer questions right away. This might mean, that I don't get to a question before an assignment is due, so that will not be accepted as an excuse.

Things you will NOT find:
  • Your homework assignments. You have a planner to write those down.
  • Copies of notes.
  • Answers for your homework assignments.
  • Study guides for tests.
  • Anything else that is generally your responsibility to keep up with.
Policies for comments:
You are welcome and encourage to post helpful comments and questions on my blog. However, the following types of questions are not allowed:
  • Questions regarding what your homework is-see above
  • Questions regarding answers to your homework-this will be treated as cheating
Comments may be left if they are helpful and encouraging for others. You may not leave any of the following comments:
  • Anything rude or disrespectful to myself or my students. If you are my student, this will be treating as a discipline issue; if you are not, you will be blocked.
  • Any answers to homework-this will be treated as cheating
  • Anything else that I deem unacceptable content
Please understand that I do wish to maintain this blog as a tool for all of my students. However, if you violate the above policies repeatedly, I will block you from commenting on my blog. If one of my students violates these policies after being warned, that student will also be blocked.

These policies are subject to change at any time as I see fit.

Thank you.
