Imagine a school with no rules and regulations. Would there be order inside the school premises?

Would the students be disciplined and proper in behaving inside the school? Would a school still be
called a school? Rules and regulations in a school are important, for these enable discipline for
students, make a school orderly, and maintain the quality of the school.

The main reason why schools have rules and regulations is to discipline students. These regulations
enable students to behave well inside the school premises. Other schools (perhaps all) actually
impose disciplinary actions for those who violate the rules. For example, it is one of the rules in the
school not to smoke inside the campus. If someone is caught, he could be suspended from his class
or even be expelled. These rules actually don’t hinder you to go on with your usual doings; they just
discipline you and put your actions in a proper way.

The second reason is to make a school orderly. If schools do not have rules and regulations, would
there be order? One instance is about the dress code. If a school would not impose a rule regarding
proper decorum, probably students would wear outfits like spaghetti, mini-skirts, hanging blouses,
sando, torn pants, slippers, etc. (for women) and short pants, sando, torn pants, slippers, etc. (for
men). Students would look unpleasant and it seemed that they would not go to school but instead
go somewhere else. The school administration is only thinking for the things that are better for
students.

The last reason is to maintain the quality of the school. The quality of the school matters on how the
rules and regulations are properly followed, too. It doesn’t matter how lengthy or plenty school rules
are but how these are effectively practiced. Without these rules, education will be affected, hence,
the quality, in general is mainly affected. Thus, rules and regulations are needed to maintain the
quality of the school.

Many are only looking on the negative side of these rules and regulations. However, if we are only
looking at the beauty of their purpose for us, we would learn to appreciate their effects for the
whole students’ population and the school in general. Thus, these rules are essential for without
these, would you become a person who you wanted to be?
