Regarding participation, I had to change my initial hardline stance (from the rules) given my own holiday plans. It seemed hypocritical to enforce participation rules that I couldn't adhere to myself. Therefore, I changed them to the ones below (alas, I forgot to change them in the rules). I am enforcing rules as below.

In order to learn, all evidence points to student participation. The best learning occurs when students are active in class. Therefore, the rules for participation here at Civilitas High, where teaching students to become independent thinkers in the spirit of Kantianism is imperative, are as follows:
- If you go through five real life days without participating in class, you will receive a warning (as a PM).
- Your warnings are logged throughout the semester (game).
- Your second warning is your final warning. There is no third warning.
- Breaking the rules after having received a second warning gets you sent to the principal's office.
- If you are sent to the principal's office, you are evicted from Civilitas High. Any people on the waiting list will be offered your place.
Obviously, students are urged to contact the principal's office with important information regarding lack of participation in class, which will be taken into consideration when distributing warnings.
