FYI: I do not like having to be mean and cranky and super strict. I don't like adding new rules and regulations in the middle of the year.
But ...
One of my main jobs is to keep you safe. Or at least make you feel safe.
I've told you all many times throughout the year that as soon as you enter the door, I want you to feel like you're in a safe place. The only thing I want you to have to worry about in here is your -grade - not that someone is going to be rude to you, post something online about you, or - worst case - physically hurt you. Right now, you may not feel safe being in the halls, and that just means that I need to work even harder to make sure my room is a safe place for you.
So, I have to use some new rules. I'm sorry. But, I'd rather you feel safe for those 43 minutes than just ignore the issue.
