My view on classroom rules!

I’m not so much into ruling the classroom as well as the students, and since lots of my philosophy is taken from Coloroso’s theory of Inner Discipline, I would totally involve my students in the classroom rules making. With my students, I would make some rules that helps the classroom run smoothly, rules that deals with behaviors in the class are inconsistently out of control. I appreciate the idea of having the students involved in the process of making their own rules and negotiating with each other about which ones to put in the final classroom rules board. This is good for the psychological growth of students I think because it gives them power in their classroom and their education. Guiding the students to develop their classroom rules promotes ownership of the rules it encourages students to take full responsibility of their behaviors.  After students have written the final classroom rule I would stick in somewhere that students can see clearly. I would also send the rules home for the parents sign it as well as leave their comments about what they think of the rule in determining what’s best for the education of their child. This is a way that includes parents in what their children are trying to accomplish in the classroom.

Mots of normal classroom rules that most of the teacher require their students to follow are rules that I don’t personally see what does it have to do with the lessons. I won’t have rules such as no eating in the classroom or drinking, no chewing gum, or no wearing a hat, as well as getting in line when going outside of the class. However, I believe that with every privilege comes responsibility. Therefore, as long as they clean after themselves and as long as it does not interfere with learning. They can have the freedom to eat, drink, wear hat or hoodie, and walk in groups as well as talk to each other while waiting for the bathroom as long as they are not disturbing the classroom next doors. However, there’s one major rule that all my students are required to follow, and I believe this rule is important one to consider when trying to create a safe learning environment. This rule is respecting every individual inside and outside the classroom, and I believe that if students can respect each other and work well together there’s no need for other consequential rules.
