21 Days of Becoming Responsible
Experts say that if we repeat an action every day for just 21 days, it is likely to become
automatic. So, for the next 21 days, I encourage you to act on the habits of responsible
students!
 Respect: Your Teacher and Yourself
Time: It takes time to grade your papers, take the time to turn them in or make
revisions.

Accountability: Your teacher is accountable to her boss, you are accountable to your
teacher and your parents.

Pride: Your teacher takes pride in teaching you and seeing you succeed. Take pride
in your accomplishments.
