As a learning community, we have lost our way a bit: disrespect towards adults and peers, neglecting to follow through with assignment completion, lack of participation and engagement, questioning reasonable requests, support for inappropriate behaviours are a few of the issues. Tomorrow, we will spend the morning redefining our vision of our class.
