American Classroom Customs

If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not
understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the
question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not
know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call
your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment. It is your
responsibility to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher’s
responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher
know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should
take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only
reason for missing a test.
