Why We Have School Rules
Why we have school rules

In this school we have rules.

The rules are there to help everyone equally.

We agree to stick to the rules, so it is fair for all the teachers and children.

Sometimes I break a rule or I do a bad piece of work.

Then the rules allow the teacher to tell me off.

If I am told off, sometimes I get angry.

I want to argue with the teacher.

If I argue with a teacher I am breaking a rule.

I will try not to get cross when I am told off.

I will try not to argue with the teacher.
