This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-qualitative type of research. The subjects of this research were elementary school students and teachers in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Data collection does by recording technique and note-taking technique. The data analysis technique uses an interactive analysis model from Miles, Huberman, & Saldana (2014). The results showed violations of all maxims of politeness in the language in the learning process. A breach of the tact maxim is that students respond to the teacher's orders with an attitude that is not serious or joking. Violation of the generosity maxim is shown by the way students express their intentions or desires emotionally. Violation of the approbation maxim is students criticizes directly or openly. The violation of the modesty maxim carried out by the students demeaned the speech partner. Violation of the agreement maxim indicates students' attitudes who do not respect the teacher's orders using harsh diction. The form of a breach of the sympathy maxim is that students lose their empathy for friends who are having trouble.
