READING

Read the text and decide if the statements are true or false.

Imagine a school with no rules at all. There are no bells, no dress code, and no homework deadlines. At first, this sounds exciting for students. Everyone could choose what to study and how to learn. Lessons could happen anywhere, and students might feel freer and more creative.

However, a school without rules would also have many problems. Some students might come late, interrupt lessons, or skip classes. Teachers would struggle to control classrooms and make sure everyone learns. Learning would become unfair if students followed different standards. Safety could also be a serious issue.

Still, having fewer rules could help students become more independent and responsible. They would learn to manage their time and respect others on their own. Teachers could spend more time helping students instead of enforcing rules.

In conclusion, while a school with no rules sounds fun, total freedom could cause chaos. Schools need a balance between rules and freedom to create a safe, fair, and positive learning environment.
