1. Hebron Middle School Rule
The existing rule from the Hebron Middle School Handbook page 18 states "Shoulders must be
covered at all times during the school day as well as indoor extra–curricular activities." The first
problem with the rule is that some sports get hot and students do not want to wear a sleeved shirt
when they are all sweaty. The dress code is an inconvenience to coaches because not only do they
have to train us and prepare us but the also have to check what we are allowed to wear all the time
during practices and meets. The second problem with the rule is that the rule for no shoulders at
school is targeting girls in schools. This is a sexist rule that tries to make us be covered up to not
distract boys. The third problem with the rule is that

2. Classroom Rules
I will develop the rules, consequences and rewards for the class prior to the start of the school
year, they will be as follows: Rules: * NO TARDINESS: Be in your seat and ready for class when
the bell rings. Standing outside the door rushing in after the bell has begun to ring constitutes a
tardy. You must be INSIDE the door. Before arriving to class, make sure all personal needs have
been attended to, since no hall passes will be issued. Arriving late 3 or more times will lead to
various consequences. * BE PREPAIRED: Have all your materials that will be needed for class.
Including; textbook, pen/pencil, folders, notebook or other items as directed. Begin warm–up
activity immediately, directions will be on the board or...show more content...
* PARENT CONTACT: If the student still shows no improvement their parents will be contacted
and made aware of the repeated problems their child has caused. Rewards * ASSIGNMENTS
OPT OUT: Student's that obey rules and do not receive any disciplinary actions for 4 consecutive
weeks will receive an opportunity to opt out of one homework assignment. * FIELD TRIP:
Student's that obey rules and do not receive any disciplinary actions for the entire semester will
be allowed to participate in a semester ending field trip or activity chosen by the class as it relates
to the coursework. Record Keeping * LOG: Within the daily attendance log a space will be
provided for any disciplinary events that took place during that particular day. All disciplinary
actions will be recorded and taken note of. The rules will me clearly communicated at the
beginning of the year and I will be consistent in adhering to the consequences and model good
behavior and expectations. The rules will be posted in the room as a reminder and we will practice
the rules at the beginning of each semester and have a periodic review of them at different points
along the way. Theory: Unlike procedures or routines, rules express standards of behavior for which
individual students need to take responsibility. Although they may help in insuring the practical
efficiency of classroom tasks, they are really about encouraging students to be personally responsible
for learning, as well

3. Importance Of Rules In School
According to Chapalin he stated that, In schools there are two types of rules, there are whole school
rules created to encourage a safe and pleasant environment around the school grounds. There are also
classroom rules, which are used to maintain an effective learning environment within the classroom.
'Effective rules provide pupils with a physically and psychologically safe predictable environment'
(Chapalin 2003 quoted by James Arthur et al, page 107)
As adults were all have to obey society's rules and routines, eg pay our bills, wait in queues and not
steal others things. As adults, we know these as laws, customs and good manners and learn the
consequences of breaking them. Students need to learn how to behave and teachers can use rules
and routines to help them do this and consequently create an appropriate learning environment.
A simple positive behaviour strategy used in all schools is the use of rules. A rule in the classroom
is principle that generally governs the pupil's behaviour.
It is vital that a rule is effective in order to create the correct setting. 'Whatever the rule, it should be
established quickly, with firmness and consistency.' (Yeomans and Arnold 2006).
I will develop classroom rules within the first week or two of the school year, 'this helps build a
natural readiness and expectation of pupils' (Classroom Behaviour, by Bill Rogers, page 27).
Pupils must be aware and agree with the rule in order for them to respect it. I will achieve this by

4. School Rules
School rules and regulations are made not to be broken. Rules are made for the safety and better
welfare of the students in school. Another is to promote good behavior among students and to
maintain the good image of the school. Parents send their children to school in order for them to
learn not only academic values, but also moral values. Implementing school rules will help the
students mold their character and values expected from them by other people.
There are certain factors why nowadays, students tend not to follow rules disseminated by the
school despite of the punishments they will have to face for doing such actions. Some of the
reasons are as follows: peer pressure, drugs, poverty, homelessness, low self esteem, lack of...show

Since he/she came from a broken family, he/she cannot get support from his/her family and in that
way, to get the attention of his/her parents, he/she tend to do what is wrong just to be noticed by his
/her love ones. Students coming from broken families often times become selfish in a way that he
/she is just thinking of his/her own happiness and satisfaction.
The family is the very source of love, support and guidance for each individual. It is where the good
character of a person is uprooted. Without the support and love coming from every member of the
family, the person, particularly the students becomes delinquent or simply lost in their moral values.
A student without moral values knows no straight path. He always go on the wrong side of the track
just to be noticed.
Media also plays an important role in growing individuals. Most of the students nowadays are
exposed to so much in media particularly on local television. Because at a very young age, they are
easily being influenced by what they see and what they hear, especially from those whom they
idolize and frequently see on screen. Sometimes, through media, they witness negative things that
they initiate because it was presented or shown beautifully regardless of being right, or against the
rules.
We cannot deny the fact that even though the parents raised their children in ways which they
consider as "right," there are still some who lose their direction. It is true that nobody is perfect. So
