- The
classroom is an exciting environment and it provides the
opportunity for intellectual growth for everyone.
- It
is a place where thoughts and ideas should be exchanged
freely and without the fear of undue criticism.
- Students
contribute as much to the learning experience as the
professor.
- A
classroom belongs to student scholars.
- Student
scholars understand and appreciate the efforts of their
professors.
- Students
who are treated with respect and kindness will reciprocate
with astoundingly creative and scholarly thoughts and
ideas.
- Students
are our future.
