(2007)Q1:drawing up a set of school rules for a new school.

School rules are made to discipline (disciple) students, improving their behaviour and attitudes. If there are (is) no school rules, the school might become chaotic (go chaos) as students will (do) not listen to teachers or care about their school's reputation.Therefore, school rules are compulsory for every school in every corner of the world. (Is this really true for all levels? What if the students are older?)

The compulsory school rule that any school must have is 'Students should attend school punctually'.This allow students to develop a sense of time, knowing the importance of begin punctual in society.Not only do the teachers able to start their lessons on the clock but also having extra time to go further for the students, especially the weaker ones.Since the school normally start in the early morning, this school rule will help students to develop a habit of sleeping early and waking up early.It will not only give the students a clean bill of health but a acceptable attitude as well. In addition, it is important because it ensures students to attend school on time and benefits them in health and early impart of knowledge.

Similarly, having the sense of time is not enough. Another school rule that is needed is 'Neat Attire'.School uniform is a symbol of a particular school and it will affect the school's reputation on how the students dress themselves either immaculately or untidily which in turn reflect the disciple of the students as well.The uniform not only shows people that they are from which school but also give the students a sense of belonging. School uniforms are also used by teachers to determine whether the student is obedient or problematic at their first sight and need to monitor them. Therefore, this is important as it shows how the school's disciple is and develops the students to have the right character.

Having the responsibility in the growth of the students, the school needs to prevent students from having bad influence such as stealing and smoking. Hence,'Smoking and stealing are forbidden' is a must. IT will give the students a clean and healthy environment to study in and their safety is to be ensured from the naughty students. Drawing up this rule, gives as a warning to the students that it is wrong and erases their temptation of doing a mistake in their lives.Therefore, it is important as smoking not only influence them negatively but also affect their inner health. Teachers should act as an example for the students to learn in and will thus, allow them to develop positively in every areas.

'Students must give the rightful respect to teachers and workers' is another rule that is needed. However, this includes having the teacher and workers to give the students their rightful respect as well. Students will learn to be polite and not grown up to be an agestic person. Not only foster their behaviour and characters but also allow them to grow up as excellent Singaporeans. With this school rule, teachers and students will have a better relationship which therefore allows students to have the mind for learning and bravery to ask teachers for help either in education or the problem they are facing in their daily lives. Hence, relationship between a teacher and student is important as it make school life more lively and also develop students to have a 'big' heart as well.

Finally, to enable these rules to be followed, a punishment rule must include as well. 'Students who break the rules will be severely punish' will be needed to keep the students to be obedient and in order. This rule will enhance students to follow the rules and in the same time allow the school to be organises. It will prevent the students to have a second thought of whether to do something bad, developing their sense of wrong and right and the consequences of their doing. This is the only way for naughty students to know their mistake and learn from it, growing from the wrong to be a better person in the future. Punishment itself allows the students to reflect on the things they done and grow from it. However, there are still some students that did not want to learn from their mistake but continue to do so. These students will be needing consoling and the school need to pay attention to them. Therefore, it is important as it ensure the students from breaking the rules, developing their sense of seriousness and well-being of their attitude and character.

In conclusion, the most important of all is the rule of punishment which ensure that other school rules are followed by the students. It allow them ti realise their mistake and able to differentiate between wrong and right. If there is no punishment, students will be nonchalant in what they do as there is no one to bother them whether they did something wrong. Therefore, the rule are made to be followed and punishment are given to determine the seriousness of rules. This hence shows that rules are important to school to keep the order of the school and also develop the right behaviour and character in students' growth.
