Social
behavior in the classroom is to respect other students and the
teacher in the
class giving
everyone the opportunity to learn. No child has
the right to interfere
with other people's learning. Each child is responsible
to set goals which he or she
needs to work on,
work on accomplishing that goal, and move
on.
