This means more rules, more punishments, ergo more control.

Control what they wear; their hair length and colour; control how they speak, what they say; basically if they do what they tell you then they'll learn what you teach them.

Poll Option 2 - More 'liberal'.

This means less rules, less punishments, ergo more respect from the students. Let them decide how they dress, how they act, how they talk. Stress to them how important education is, and let them decide how much work they do. Respect them, treat them like adults, and get respect back. Be friends to the students, not dictators. Let them make their own dicisions, and take responsibility for those decisions.

So, which do you think is the best way for schools to be run?
Howdy GhostToker,

I picked option 1,but I don't think it should be quite as strict as you lay out..students should be able to express themselves in a debate,for instance. Kids should be treated like kids,not adults..even 17 year olds,should be treated like kids,unless they're like I was and went into the military,at the age of 17. When they turn 18,they should start being treated like adults..they should be encouraged to register to vote as well as register for the draft. Kids need discipline and order,in their lives and it's up to the parents to do that and help them git their priorities straight too.

School uniforms save lives,because when kids sometimes wear the wrong colors,they git attacked and sometimes,killed over it.

Have a good one ...
