How effective do feel rules are? Do you think that in the "new" classroom environment, the educators authority has been undermined? What do feel possible answers are to this dilemma?
I think that rules are very effective. The reason is that if I become a teacher one day, I want to have some kind of structure in my classroom. I do not want students running and playing around in my classroom. I want to be able to lay down the rules to them (I really want to say procedures) so that they will know what to expect in my classroom. I believe that the authority has been undermined due to the fact that these students now are a different generation from when I was their age. The educators to me are that some of them (educators) are being firm with the students and some are not. Educators have to show them what to do as far as how to behave in a classroom. The dilemma would be is that these kids now are not getting the attention at home as they needed. The parents are not taking the time out for their kids to show them about life and school etc. It's kind of like we as teachers have to show them a whole lot of things.
Children haft to have rules and taught the proper way. Following the rules and behaving are big factors in the lower level because it ends up helping you later on in life. Teachers need to treat the children the same way they would treat themselves, also they need to treat each student the same as another because some teachers treat some kids better than others and its not fair to the others. But its all up to the parents because they way they raise their child will be the way that the child will act in the classroom.
I feel that rules can be very effective if they are taught and reinforced. If you do not reinforce what you say and do than the students are not going to pay attention to you or your rules. I think that the authority of the teachers have been somewhat undermined. Parents, myself included do not want to give the teachers the authority that they need to enforce the class rules. There needs to be some kind of happy medium that everyone can agree on. That way maybe everyone can have an easier time in the class, teachers and students. Melissa Spruiell
I think that rules are very important. They help to keep order in world, environment, homes, and classrooms. They help to set the standards of the levels of authority. Rules are very effective when they are enforced. When they are not enforced, especially in the classroom, students will begin to take you for granted. It is just like in the world if rules weren't enforced people would take advantage and run all over you. I do think that authority in the classroom is undermined because children do not respect authority like they use to. Teachers are not support by the parents when it comes to discipline. There need to be some other forms of agreement that the teacher, student, parent can use to help keep better order in the classroom.
Rules and routines are what teach the average learner. Routines create an environment, where if managed properly, can provide students with a comfortable frame of mind when learning. Routines cannot become effective without rules and routines. In regards to “the ‘new’ classroom environment,” the classroom and every aspect associated with a teacher’s classroom, should be dictated by the teacher. Gaining authority over the classroom is crucial to the proper education of the students. Any modern classroom that is not in control by the educator is destined for failure.

I think rules are very effective. But, we as people need to know that they can and will be broken. But I find that most rules are followed. I do think the “new” classroom environment undermines the educators authority. I compare students today with when I was a student. I knew if I was brave enough to break a rule I would be punished by the Teacher as well by my parents when I got home. So I took following rules very seriously. Today students know that the educator is at the mercy of the parents and principal. I feel very strongly that authority should be given back to the educators. If a parent has a problem with how the educator disciplines their child then if the child continues to misbehave then the parent should be required to come to the school and administer punishment or take the child home until the child can behave. I see all the time how well behaved students are deprived from learning because another student can’t seem to follow simple classroom rules. It didn’t happen overnight and it will not be fixed overnight.
Rules are very important and can be very effective if they are enforced. You have to have some sort of structure in your classroom to keep things in order and things running smooth. Educators have to teach the rules to the students and let them know what you expect of them. You can't expect them to just know what you expect of them. I do believe that educators today are being undermined to a certain extent. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that some kids do not have rules at home, so it is hard for them to follow rules at school. I think that educators need to be more tactful and make sure the students know what they expect of them. -Melanie Hudson
I feel that rules are affective as the leaders make them. Rules are there for a reason but if they are not enforced then they will not do any good. I think that the “new” classroom environment does undermine authority in some ways. Students know how strict the rules have become on discipline and I think sometimes they use that against the teachers. Teachers have to know how to be forceful with expecting the students to follow the rules. I think as teachers if we set a tone for the classroom from the first day then things for the most part will go ok. I am sure their will always be one student that test the boundaries but as a whole students will take lead from the teacher.

I believe rules are very effective in the classroom. The problem is there is usually not any discipline to back up the classroom or school rules. Effective rules create a structured classroom and environment for the students as well as the teacher. Rules are being undermined because there are no consequences for breaking them. Teachers cannot use time out or paddling anymore. The only thing teachers can do is send the student to the office or call a parent to come and pick him/her up. The problem is that the students are aware of this and they want to go home. Teachers should also model and explain what they expect from their students. Respect is a two way street. -Renee Williamson
I do think the rules are not effective enough at the higher schools. The dress code for instance, it's strict with the preschool and middle schools but when I pick my children up these children might as well not even wear anything at all. Classroom structure is also becoming a thing of the past. In a preschool that is allowing pro choice to children if they don't want to participate with the other class they are allowed to go to another center and do what they want. I don't feel structure is an issue. When the child has to attend another school grade level and he or she finds out there is structure how much of this do you honestly think is going to go well? To me allowing parents and psychologist to express their thoughts and allowing them to say that is what helps the child to be independent and make the right choices is crazy. That is why the world of children are so out of control today.
Rules are very important in a classroom setting because they maintain structure, allow attentive students to focus, and offer consequences for disruptive students. In today's classrooms, rules are often challenged because some students feel that the rules should not apply to them because of their social status. If teachers and administrators would stick to the consequence of the rule, many would take heed.
