  Case: Should students help create the rules?
Throughout my observations in classrooms, I have noticed that many teachers create their classroom rules with students during the first week of school. The teacher will display a big sheet of paper to the class, and ask the students what they think the rules should be. What do you think of this method? Is it effective towards classroom management? Or should teachers make the rules solely by themselves based off of their preferences?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that letting students help with the rules is not a bad idea at all. I think that their feedback is invaluable and if they set the expectation it makes them more accountable.
