Students who attend the Parent-Teacher Co-op must practice good
Christian behaviors and habits. Students who have been expelled from
traditional schools will not be allowed to join the Co-op for at least one
year.
As Christians, our goal should be to obey scripture whether in word or
deed, to do all to the glory of God. Since the ultimate end of all Bible-
centered education is to grow in wisdom and virtue, we require all
students to exhibit the following minimal personal virtues:
· Kindness
· Truthfulness
· Courtesy toward others and respect for their
property rights
· Punctuality in attendance and work
· Respect for and obedience to those in authority
· Diligence in effort and attention
Moral purity including abstinence from drugs,
alcohol, & sexual activities
Dress Code:
As Christians, we have a responsibility to create an atmosphere that
encourages academic excellence, and upholds an excellent testimony
to others. Student appearance should be modest and in good taste so
as not to offend or draw undue attention to oneself. Therefore, the
following dress code has been established:
Boys are to wear: Khaki style pants or dress pants (no jeans, no
baggies, no sports pants and no sweat pants.) Shirts must have at
least short sleeves. Earrings, chokers and chains should not be worn
– only watches are allowed. Hats need to be removed before entering
the building ."No makeup (e.g. Eyeliner, etc.) can be worn on class
premises. No piercings.
Girls are to wear: Khaki style pants or dress pants (no jeans, no
baggies, no sports pants and no sweat pants.) Skirts must be knee
length. Shirts must not be tight fitting or have low neck lines. No bare-
midriffs, even when arms are raised. Leggings are not considered
pants and should be worn under skirts longer than knee length. No
piercings other than ears.
All students: No slogans or pictures on clothing. College or school
names, store brands, Christian or home school related
shirts/sweatshirts ARE acceptable. Goth attire is NOT acceptable. No
extreme hair styles or coloring allowed. No visible tattoos.
“Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord
is at hand.” Philippians 4:5
Lunch:
Students & parents who stay during the lunch break may bring their
own sack lunches.
There will be a designated room for lunch. Pizza and pop is made
available the last Thursday of the month. Students may not leave the
premises during lunch, unless under direct supervision of parent on
premise.
Prompt Arrival and Departure:
Students should be picked up promptly after their classes are finished
and should not be dropped off more than ten minutes before their first
class. If the child is 4th grade or younger, the parent must be with
him/her in study hall. If a student is not in a class, they must be in the
supervised study hall. The Study Hall will be monitored by one parent.
Mp3 players, I-pods, CD players and Game-boys are allowed only
during Study Hall. Cell phones must only be used for emergency
purposes and must be silenced during classes.
Please Note: The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA)
has suggested that no more that three (3) core classes be taken
outside the home.
Plagiarism:
PLA'GIARISM, n. [from plagiary.] The act of purloining another man's
literary works, or introducing passages from another man's writings
and putting them off as one's own; literary theft. (Webster’s 1828
dictionary)
Plagiarize \'pla-je-,riz also j - -\ vb -rized; -riz•ing vt [plagiary] : to steal
and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (a
created production) without crediting the source vi: to commit literary
theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an
existing source - pla•gia•riz•er n
FROM: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 9th ed, (Springfield, Ma:
Merriam 1981, p. 870).
To plagiarize is to steal, to steal is to cheat. Plagiarizing is using
someone’s work without giving them the credit. God's word tells us not
to steal and the secular world even places great importance on
intellectual theft. Colleges will immediately dismiss students without
reimbursing tuition when plagiarism or cheating is found to have
happened. All papers written at PTC must cite sources. This should be
done in the MLA format. If you are unfamiliar with this format this
website www.easybib.com will walk you thru it, another site which will
explain it to you is http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/legacylib/mlahcc.html. .
Here is another site which explains how to avoid plagiarism is http://sja.
ucdavis.edu/files/plagiarism.pdf.
Quotes must be credited in the text of the paper. Papers must be the
student's own they cannot just be “cut and pasted” from another
person’s work.
The goal of PTC is to educate each student according to the definition
of education given in Webster’s 1828 dictionary:
“EDUCA'TION, n. [L. educatio.] The bringing up, as of a child,
instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that
series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the
understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of
youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give
children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important;
to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense
responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these
duties.”
In order to “fit students for usefulness in their future stations” we feel it
is necessary to address cheating and plagiarism. Here are the
consequences for cheating and/or plagiarism.
1. The first time a student cheats or plagiarizes the paper/test will be
returned with a zero. The student and parent will meet with two
members of the steering committee.
2. The second time it occurs the student will be dismissed from PTC
for the year and will not be allowed to participate in any activities. The
class fees will need to be paid for the entire year.
