Writing for an Academic Discussion Should school rules be stricter or more relaxed?

In your opinion, is it more beneficial for schools to have strict rules, or should a more relaxed approach be taken?

 

 

Let’s Think

1.        Share examples of strict rules in schools.

2.        Why does school have rules?

3.        Talk about the pros and cons of more relaxed approach.

 

 

Hints for Points

1.        Rules protect children from troubles.

2.        Children must learn to follow rules to be a law-abiding citizen.

3.        Lack of discipline will make individuals dull like today’s rich retarded politicians who are contributing to the demise of the human race.

4.        It is wrong not to allow autonomy above certain level in anything.

5.        Creativity will be lost because children are not allowed free-thinking. Probably, the large number of strict rules at Japanese schools is related to the small number of protests and that protesters are regarded as if they were terrorists.

6.        Children cannot become independent because they do not learn to think by themselves.

 

 

Responses for Ideas and Expressions

Although I partly agree with Amanda in that some rules are vital for order and safety for proper learning environment, I believe a more relaxed approach to school rules should be taken. School in itself is a device to restrict children’s freedom. It forces children to attend 5 to 6 days a week for 4 to 6 hours a day during fixed hours. Some subjects are required subjects. This is already stressful to children even if these rules are intended to help them. Moreover, some schools have uniforms or strict dress codes. Many schools have many more meaningless rules that restrict students’ life to the last detail. The purpose of these rules is to control. By exacting obedience, school successfully makes children braindead. It is for this reason that any fascist entity has numerous rules. Therefore, for healthy environment for education to raise freer, creative minds, school must have as few rules as possible. (144 words)

 

I agree with the opinion of Peter that excessive control diminish students’ independence. It is violation of human rights when children are deprived of freedom above certain level. Of course, some rules are necessary for smooth and effective education. For example, smoking is prohibited for healthy development of children. However, rules of underwear colors or the number of times a student can use a bathroom are useless, if not harmful. Forcing students with wavy hair or brown hair by birth to change their hair into dark straight hair is torturous. Prohibiting students from wearing a heavy coat during winter and drinking water in the classroom is life-threatening. These rules all violate students’ right to pursue a healthy and cultural life and happiness. Therefore, school rules should not be strict. (119 words)
