Students should be given more freedom in deciding school rules

Excessive freedom leads to disasters. Whenever there is too much freedom given, people tend to abuse it. If the laws of the country are chosen by its people, where stealing and robbing isn't a crime, the country is bound to have disasters. Therefore, to a certain extent, students should not be given more freedom in deciding school rules.

It may be a good idea, however, to allow students to propose suggestions to the school rules. This is because the teachers may fail to look at certain things at the perspective of students. Suggestions should always be open in order for a school to improve continuously. However, we must not neglect the fact that the teachers still have the final say on whether or not the school rules should be changed or added.

If students are given more freedom in deciding the school rules, then it will defeat the purpose of having school rules. Rules are meant to be followed, not to be decided. If it is changed frequently, it will be difficult to abide to the rules.

I feel that students should not be given too much freedom and power as they are not matured enough. Some of them will fail to see the importance of certain things and insist in doing it their own way. The school rules the school set acts as a guideline for them to follow so as not to fall astray. If the students are the ones deciding the school rules, there will be no guidelines and they will easily side track in studies.

Since too much freedom leads to many undesired things happening, I feel that students should not be given more freedom in deciding the school rules.
