At TLE Christian Academy LEARNING is our main focus.  Although that means high standards for teachers, parent involvement, student commitment etc. let's face it student are children or at the most young adults.  We can not expect them to behave exemplary every minute of the day every day of the school year.  However, we cannot allow behavior that distracts other students from their learning experience.  Where to draw the line is sometimes a very difficult questions, but we have to rely on each teacher's integrity and good judgement while balancing between open constructive discussion and too much talking/distractions.
