What is Class Cash?

You can earn Class Cash by turning in assignments on time and 
properly headed.  You can also earn CC by doing classroom jobs.  

Some examples of how you can spend CC are - when you need to go 
to the bathroom or get a drink during class, to buy extra copies 
of dittos when you misplace them, to buy an emergency pen, 
pencil, or binder paper, or to go into the closet to get 
something you forgot in your backpack.
