Mr. Stapleton's Class Goals:

• Don't waste students' time.  Avoid busywork.
• Provide a challenge -- but remember that you have a life
• Keep things relevant, interesting, and, useful (hopefully) -- show applications to real life
• Present material in a way that makes sense -- make it understandable
• Have fun, or at least don't make it painful.
• Prepare students for college and/or AP coursework.
• Keep the behavioral expectations comfortable -- not too strict; not too loose
• Be reasonable -- listen to student input
• Encourage honesty and justice.
