Dear Humans,

Yesterday we came up with a list of five student responsibilities. I think that’s better than rules. Rules usually tell us what we’re not supposed to do. Sometimes that’s helpful, but not always. Plus, some people see a list of what they’re not supposed to do as an invitation to try it. (Not that any of you would do that.)

But responsibilities are altogether different. They’re a list of things we should do. Not because we want to win a reward or “be good” but because we know that living our best life in the best possible world requires us to do things the right way.

We all have skin in this game.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
