Reminder, there are may be notebook checks every day you may not always see the grade or "check" going on. You are expected to enter the class with your notebook, take a seat, and not have anything else on your lap or desk to to distract you other than assigned work-- all this before the bell if you are done see me. If you choose not to behave as if you know the reason you are in school is to learn-- your grade reflects your poor understanding of what school is about-- see "participation" (looking at how other students behave is often a poor measure of what is expected for personal or academic success in a competitive world).
