Choices and Consequences

It's too noisy in the classroom and I can't concentrate so I walk out of the room.

• You stay focused and get your own work done, and remember you don't have to be the enforcer.

• The problem becomes larger, and your grade is impacted, plus the teacher won't trust you or your classmates.

• The teacher and students don't know what's wrong and I won't know what I missed.

• There will be less work to complete outside of school

I ask the teacher to reexplain the directions.

• I understand what to do and complete the work.

• The problem becomes larger and my grade drops.

• I won't feel calmer, and it may be harder to make good choices.

• I'm easily able to locate the necessary work to complete/turn in.
