should school rules be enforced a bit more

It seems to me that some people can get away with almost anything and only come off with a slap on the wrist. I feel like this should not be the cause. I get that the school doesn't have to be super strict to where its an ACTUAL prison, but at the very least make it so people don't screw off with no consequences, because if you are doing a project or an assignment and there's a group of people talking loudly and not even talking about the project, its hard to focus for some people. With stricter rules people might be able to do work in a nice quiet environment.

 

Now there might be benefits with having stricter rules, but I also see downsides so Its not one sided. Stricter rules could have people not liking school as much as they already do, along with that it might happen to the wrong people. So sometimes having non-strict rules helps people who don't do that many bad things.

 

When I truly think about both the pros and cons of stricter laws, in some cases its more con than pro. I do know that there needs to be balance but sometimes it might just need to depend on the people to decide.

  • You topic is fine Jason but your summary is brief overall and could have been better organized. -20 two days late.

  • I that schools are probably little to leanient on some of the school policys. But I don't they should be super strict with them otherwise there would be to many people getting in trouble. But if it is something like bullying then that should be enforced.

  • I think that there should be rules in school, but I think that they shouldn't be super strict. Students should get punished for the right things like bullying and vaping, but other rules like the dress code could be less strict. Overall, it depends on the specifc rule when deciding if they should be more strict or not.

  • I do think that school rules should be enforced more because the bullying and the crimes with stealing things from other people and things like that is getting way too out of hand. It's also the simple things like no cursing, be polite, be on time, and just the little things like that. I also agree with Bradlee because they really can't keep us after school if we don't want to. They also should enforce better rules to keep the school safe from school shootings and things like that. Detentions are the epitimy of why we have to stay after school. That's just stupid on my card. 

  • I think that the rules should be enforced more. A lot of teachers decide which rules they want to enfore more than others and who they want to enforce the rules on. I don't think that is fair because everyone should have the same rules and punishments aplied to them.

  • The school does need rules, but they also don't need super strict rules. Kids need to live, and if they can't do that in school their lives won't be any fun. This is why some kids don't like school right now. I think our school have very lenient rules, Some teachers care a lot, and some teachers don't care.

  • I think while some rules such as dress code are over enforced and used to extort cooperation from students, some other rules such as bullying or vaping are under enforced. I think students can focus their rules instead of on minute things such as what someone is wearing to students performing harmful acts such as fighting or doing illegal drugs.

  • I think that certain school rules should be enforced and others should be less strict. I say this because some rules in the school seem unnecessary but are more enforced, while others are not enforced as much or at all. I think that enforcing rules is a good way to correct student behavior and increase focus during class.

  • I feel like the rules are strict enough but the problem is that the teachers pick and choose who they want to enforce them to. There are a lot of kids who get away with a lot while other kids get punished when it should be the other kids getting punished.

    • that is a valid point. I have not really seen this but with how the school is sometimes I would not entirely be suprised.
