What do students get in trouble most often for in your class?

My students most often get in trouble for talking while I am giving
instructions.  They are allowed a lot of time to work cooperatively where they
can talk; however, when I am giving directions I expect them to be polite and
listen.

What happens if a student is caught chewing gum?

The student is asked to spit it out.  The first offense is a warning.  The 
discipline steps are then followed (see section on Rules and Discipline).

What happens when a student does not follow the dress code?

The student is asked to fix the problem.  Students are not allowed to leave
the room to take care of dress-code issues.  The discipline steps are followed
if the student continues to have a problem (see section on Rules and Discipline).

What happens to a student who deliberately abuses a computer?

Luckily I have not had many students who did not take care of the computers.
Occasionally a student will mark on a computer with his/her pencil, rearrange
the keyboard keys, or change computer settings.  The punishment depends on the
offense.  Students will be asked to correct the issue, lose computer time
and/or receive an extra assignment.  Serious offenses will be referred to the
office.

The student will lose computer time and may be gven an extra assignment. 
Students are not allowed to work on the computer again until extra assignments
are returned with a parent's signature.
