Sept. 12, 2008 \ The Clarion Lifestyles Page 11 Classroom etiquette 101 by The Girls Next Door Contributors Now that school has officially begun and we are well on our way into the semester, we don’t only need to address party etiquette in our extremely happening town, but we must also acknowledge the etiquette that should go on in our class rooms. So let us begin by saying once again that PDA is not accepted. Not at a party, and definitely not in the hallway. We’ve encountered one too many a time walking by “kissy” couples and actually squinting my face and saying “ew” under my breath. No, it’s not because you’re both ugly, it’s because I shouldn’t have to see that on my way to getting a higher education. Then, once we enter the classroom, there are also a few other items that should be addressed so that we keep our atmosphere somewhat intellectual. Personal life speeches. They’re the worst. We don’t care. Here’s a quote from our dear friend, Lou Holtz, that will hopefully make you think twice before the next time you decide to spill your guts, “Don’t tell other people your problems: 80% don’t care and 20% are glad you have them.” I think we probably fall somewhere in the 20%. Let’s all thank our dear Brevard College for making chewing tobacco against the rules beginning this school year This may be one step forward that they’ve done right in the last few years aside from the sweet new booths in the cafeteria. Having a snack in class is okay. We all get hungry; maybe even have a little bit of low blood sugar. Diabetes too, if you will. But what is not okay is when your food permeates through the air Stinky or loud food (chips for example) are just plain distracting and irritating. So if you can wait um...50 minutes. Please try to. Because the last thing we want to hear when we’re trying to pay attention is your nasty cheap meatloaf stank in our faces or the crunching of your teeth against Sour Cream and Onion chips. Believe it or not, there is such thing as a stupid question. Think before you speak. It’ll do not only yourself a favor, but everyone else around you. That’s all we really need to say about that. Last, but certainly not least is the use of headphones in our wonderful computer labs. You have a right to listen to your music, but not everyone needs to know what you're listening to. AKA WE don’t need to know what YOU’RE listening to while you’re finishing up your BCE paper in the SuperLab. Sojust simply turn your head phones down and stop singing out loud (because every time you sing/rap out loud, 60 kittens die... and that’s never a good thing). So there we have it in a nutshell, and a really small one, what just a few simple rules of classroom etiquette should be. We wish you all the best of luck this semester and hope that you will keep in mind some of the things that you have read today. Until next time...get your learn on. School is cool. 5. yiatv witli ilii; TiKJS I Lmicz:.’rmrH CunOricni with (he rrtosl ttiuiiirica S. Iui3ian citv said bu lliu tsrigiiiLil tionit uJ paimcsan thctiic: 10.
