teachers and students expected and unexpected

expected and unexpected I am learning about what is “expected” and “unexpected” to do. When people do and say things that we expect, we feel comfortable. When people do and say things that we don’t expect (unexpected), we feel uncomfortable.

Expected We have positive thoughts about people who act in expected ways.

Expected It’s always expected to respond to people when they talk to you, to keep good personal space, and to use a calm voice with a polite or respectful tone in class.

Expected It’s always expected to say “hi, ” “bye, ” “thanks, ” and “you’re welcome. ” Thanks Hi Bye You’re welcome

Unexpected We have negative thoughts about people who act in unexpected ways.

Unexpected It’s always unexpected to yell, stare, tease people, or use a rude tone of voice.
