There is certain behavior policy in our school — rules that everyone should follow, whether they like them or not. Students are tired of stupid, in their opinion, rules, such as school uniform, morning exercises, or lateness. Each student at least once asked themselves a question – why don’t teachers abide the same rules? What rules do they follow? To begin with, profession of teacher is irreplaceable and ranks fifth in the list of the most important jobs in the opinion of Readers Digest magazine. And this fact is beyond any doubts – who else will have so much patience to educate lots of children over many years? Every day, teachers face big or small problems – whether it’s a student who hasn’t done their homework or an argument with the principal. And, of course, it’s difficult for them to check tons of works, find individual approach to each student, and to follow the behavior rules in addition.

Obviously, teachers shouldn’t humiliate students and publicly point out their mistakes, attaching labels to them. The same goes for physical abuse.

As for the other rules, I think it would be fair to create equal conditions. The requirements for us about the school uniform aren’t strict, so it would be logical to make teachers wear official clothes with green elements. I know that some teachers are late for school, coming after the school bell rang and I think that this problem should be solved by introducing a certain punishment.

The main problem is how teachers present information. While some do it indifferently, not really caring about whether children will understand it or not, others try to present the information creatively, making it interesting. That’s why teachers' communication skills must be good, as well as a clear understanding of how to treat children correctly. Special courses could solve this problem.

Summing up all the information that has been said, we can conclude that our school lacks several rules that would be able to arouse desire to study or, on the contrary, would show all the ridiculousness of the rules created for students. I believe that in the future, the rules for teachers and students will be changed and improved. Perhaps in the future students will really enjoy studying.
