Classroom rules are imperative and must be reinforced for learners' safety and security.

All of those situations, I believe, lead to the formation of the rules, because all of the principles
described above are rather ifficult to observe, especially when dealing with Elementary
students. That is why we have classroom rules in order to develop the child and ensure that the
youngster is holistically developed.

2. Are classroom rules really important?

Teachers can keep class routines and students perception for academic tasks and behavior by
implementing rules and routines. Clear and visible classroom rules and procedures assist
students grasp what is and is not acceptable, as well as the repercussions of breaking the rules.
