Grades
If you participate in class, you will pass. Unless you give answers I don't like, or disrespect me in anyway.

See the detentions section.

Detentions

There will be a lot of them. Disrespecting me or your fellow students, giving an answer I don't like, being generally annoying, wearing the wrong colored shirt, reminding me of a painful past..., being late for class, not showing up for class at all...all will displease me.

And detention is the only form of discipline I am allowed to inflict.

So there will be a lot of them.
