Exercise 4c Listen to the following rules. What do you think of them?

Some odd rules in schools around the world
No best friends allowed
Some schools in the UK have the rule which does not allow any of their pupils to have a singular best friend.

Some believe that kids grow up more well-adjusted if they have bigger friend groups. Besides, nobody feels left out.

No grading with red ink
Teachers in the UK and Australia can’t use red ink to grade papers.

Some claim that red ink can harm kids psychologically as the colour brings fear and pressure. Teachers must use a more calming colour instead – green, pink, yellow, purple, and blue.

No raising hands
The age-old practice of raising hands to answer a question is, according to a school in the UK, useless and is no longer allowed.

The principal of the school claims they always have the same hands going up. This does not encourage and support the learning of others in the class.

Now a teacher can choose any student to answer the question. Some parents argue that now their kids feel nervous and scared.

The teacher can choose them when they don’t know the answer, and lose the opportunity to answer the question they do know.

Tracking inattentive students down
A school in China introduced a face recognition system which tracks daydreaming students down.

The system can recognize various emotions on students’ faces and report to a teacher if some of the students were inattentive to the lesson.

Smile for the camera
Students at a school in Lebanon have to smile between the classes.

Students who are caught without a smile on their face in the hallways go straight to the office “to talk about their problems”.

No Ugg boots
Some schools in Pennsylvania banned Ugg boots because girls were smuggling banned cell phones in them.
