That's not to say that I don't have high expectations for students. But I don't believe that a long list of "Do's" and "Don'ts" is in the best interest of any student or school community. Students are complex. They are unique. And so when I speak with a student who is struggling, it is the relationship that I have worked to establish with that individual that guides my response, not a list of rules.
Ultimately, successful school communities are built on relationships, not rules.
