To use the blog, you must agree to the following statements.

- I will avoid the use of chat language.
- I will try to spell everything correctly.

I recognize that breaking any of these rules could lead to any of the following consequences depending on severity and repetition:

Please note that all posts and comments are moderated for content before posting to the class blog.
Consequences of violating the regulations:
As the comments are regulated and reviewed before being posted, the simple and most effective consequence is that the post will not be posted and students will be asked to account for their attempted misuse of the blog. This accountability may include both parental and administrative involvement depending on the severity of the infraction.
