RULES AND PUNISHMENT You notice that there is a new student today, and listen as Miss Bailey goes over the rules and procedures of the classroom. As she describes how students should behave, you adjust your posture accordingly, placing your feet flat on the floor, straightening your back, and folding your hands on your desk. You know that you are only to speak when your teacher asks a question of you. When this happens, you must rise and stand to the left of your desk to answer her.
