Let's talk about rules~

You MAY not like this --->  RULES

"Rules, routines and procedures assist you to manage effectively and efficiently"

As kids, we were always been told that we couldn't do this, we couldn't do that. We hated the adults for doing it..and for that, we should know how the pupils feel whenever we put rules on their life.

Some rules maybe unnecessary and might just holding back the child's physiological growth. This is why the teacher or parents should know what kind of rules that they should tell the children to follow.

If you're athletic like me, you probably know that EVERY sports or games have its' rules; we could get a red card just by giving 'opinions' to the referee..but we don't really cared about it because that's just how we play it and we enjoyed doing it. Same goes with LEARNING in the classroom. If your pupils love to learn, they will definitely follow they classroom rules.

Well before we go any further on rules, lets get to know the definition of it first.

1. Authoritative statement of what to do or not to do in a specific situation, issued by an appropriate person or body. It clarifies, demarcates, or interprets a law or policy.

You may look at your dictionary for simpler definition but just by this, we can just say rules are something or a list of things that you should or shouldn't do. That's about it.


Why Classroom Rules?

1. 1.    Rules are important because they are guidelines to what is acceptable and what not. There would be no civilization without rules.
   2.    Human beings are organized in societies which have rules to 
   3.    control human beings' behavior. Human beings must follow those rules in order to live in a organized society.
   4.    Rules are in place to protect the common, good--in essence, they are there to prevent people from doing harm to one another. 
   5.    To create a happy environment for children to learn in

   Setting Rules For Your Pupils
   
   
   
   
   
    As a teacher, you of course need to establish general rules of conduct for your classroom. But how do you make your students want to follow the rules? = Give them a hand in creating those rules!
   
   
   Here's how to do it. Start with a list of what you consider the bare essentials, and then, through thoughtful discussion, work with your students to create a set of rules expressed in their language. Not yours, THEIR language!
