BIRTHDAYS: Each student will receive a birthday treat on his/her birthday-please do not send in treats for the class
HOMEWORK-When a student does not have his/her homework, he/she will attend detention THAT DAY and his/her CONDUCT CARD will be signed. During detention, the student will complete the homework. Late homework must be turned in THE NEXT DAY or the student will receive no credit (NC) on the assignment. NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT DAY. This will seriously impact the student’s grades. Students who have all of their homework each trimester will receive a NO HOMEWORK PASS.

THE CAT YEARS
![Page 94: WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR HIGH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815798550346895dc52df8/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
The Cat Years
I just realized that while children are dogs--loyal and affectionate--teenagers are cats. It's so easy to be a dog owner. You feed it, train it, boss it around. It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it.
![Page 95: WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR HIGH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815798550346895dc52df8/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Then, around age 13, your adoring little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you tell it to come inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering who died and made you emperor. Instead of dogging your footsteps, it disappears. You won't see it again until it gets hungry--then it pauses on its sprint through the kitchen long enough to turn its nose up at whatever you're serving. When you reach out to ruffle its head, in that old affectionate gesture, it twists away from you, then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before.
![Page 96: WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR HIGH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815798550346895dc52df8/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
You, not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be desperately wrong with it. It seems so antisocial, so distant, sort of depressed. It won't go on family outings.Since you're the one who raised it, taught it to fetch and stay and sit on command, you assume that you did something wrong. Flooded with guilt and fear, your redouble your efforts to make your pet behave.Only now you're dealing with a cat, so everything that worked before now produces the opposite of the desired result. Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter. The more you go toward it, wringing your hands, the more it moves away.
![Page 97: WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR HIGH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815798550346895dc52df8/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Instead of continuing to act like a dog owner, you can learn to behave like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection too. Sit still, and it will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open the door for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, "You've been on your feet all day. Let me get those dishes for you." Then you'll realize your cat is a dog again.
