Should students be allowed to make their own rules?

Students should be able to set their own rules. Students can be rather obdurate, especially when it comes to obeying rules, whose rationale they may not understand. The recrudescence of rule-breaking can serve to make school administrators and teachers diffident in their ability to control students. However, if the students are allowed to construct their own rules, they can understand the reasoning behind the construction and implementation of rules. Consequently, a reasonable level of rectitude can be expected of the students. The small group of malcontents who still persist in breaking rules can then be held accountable, as they broke the rules that they themselves created. If we are to create rules, why not let the students do it?

What is an exposition?

An exposition is a piece of writing that elucidates a certain topic, event, subject or situation. The main purpose of expository writing is to convey information, in the process educating the reader about a certain issue. If controversial or widely debated issues are being written about, the writer will usually include a discussion of the various viewpoints on the issue. Exposition, in fiction, is the background information that the reader needs in order to understand the story as it proceeds. It can be delivered directly, where the reader simply absorbs the information presented, or it can be delivered indirectly, where the reader has to infer from the character’s actions or other clues communicated by the text.
