Need EXTREMELY well defined "hard and fast" schoolwide polices (which align with district and state polices) and a mechanism to develop house-specific polices that enhance the district and state policies.

We need to devise work for students to choose to do with us that will ultimately improve the quality of their lives.
We need to engage our student-volunteers in lively, exciting work. No, not always, but most of the time...
Of course, we need sensible, fair rules applied consistently... but we shouldn't punish a kid for hating a stultifying classroom experience.
