Class Rules
Any form of physical violence is an automatic detention.
You can also earn a detention by being disrespectful to the teachers. Not disagreeing -- that's perfectly fine -- but, really, they don't take kindly to being called stupid by some kid. Calling your classmates stupid or otherwise being an insulting pain in the ass is also a very bad idea.
Notepassing and talking during the lecture is tolerated but not encouraged, and they will intervene if it seems to be disruptive. Similarly, if you want to sleep in class, fine, but someone probably will throw things at your head. The teachers will call you in for a chat and consider detention if you rack up more than two unexcused (IC or OOC) absences.
