Set+of+Standard+Apologies

1. If dress code violation is committed: //“I sincerely apologize for violating the dress code policy of The Epstein School. I do understand that if I commit this offense again, I will receive a detention.// // 2. If student is late to class: // //“I sincerely apologize to my fellow classmates for disrupting the lesson, and to my teacher for my tardiness to this class. I did not in any way, shape, or form, commit this offense purposely. Once again, I apologize for my actions. //         // **An apology for being late to class is appropriate for several reasons. One reason, is that it’s disrespectful to the teacher, because it shows that their lesson is not important to the offender. It is also disrespectful to the fellow students, because it interrupts their learning time. However, if the student has an honest and reasonable excuse, then the student should not be punished. These apologies are very appropriate for the offense.** // // 3. If a student directly disrespectful to a teacher: // //“I sincerely apologize for my disrespectful acts against my teacher, and realize that this is a very serious offense. I realize that she is my teacher and is here to help me succeed in life, and by disrespecting her that is hurting me as well. You may inflict as much punishment as necessary.”// // 4. If a student is directly disrespectful to another student: // //“I sincerely apologize for disrespecting one of my fellow classmates. I realize now that she/he is my friend, and at The Epstein School, we do not disrespect our friends, or even our enemies. I once again apologize for my offense.//  //**The apologies regarding direct acts of disrespect to a teacher or student are appropriate for several reasons. One is that when someone says or does something disrespectful directly to a student or teacher, that act offends the person it is committed against. Therefore, they deserve an apology. Another reason is that the offender needs to realize that direct disrespect such as arguing, or mouthing of to a teacher, is completely and totally unacceptable. A teacher is an adult, so a student is not permitted to display disrespect acts to him or her. Lastly, it is good for a student to recognize his or her mistakes. By recognizing their wrongdoings, they can make an extra effort to not commit the same offense. These apologies are completely appropriate.** //  //5. If a student commits more than one of the same offense: // //“I greatly and sincerely apologize for my repeated offense. Note. I stated the word ‘greatly’ to insure that in fact, I am sincerely apologetic because I lied about in the first standard apology. I will accept the detention given to me, and serve it with a positive attitude. Once again, I greatly and sincerely apologize for my repeated offense.”//   // **When a student commits an offense twice, it is a very serious deal. The first time they commit the offense they are required to apologize in order to make them recognize their actions. However, the second time they commit it, they have most definitely crossed the line. In the apology for the first offense, it clearly states the words I sincerely apologize. By stating the word** //**sincerely** // **, it means that the offender is truly sorry. By committing the offense again, it shows that the student was not truly sorry. For a repeated offense, the student should serve serious punishment.** //  ** note: explanations are same color as apologies exept bolded**
