江苏省邗江中学  董金标

I. Free talk
Have you even been punished at school, and why?
What do you think of the punishment you have received? Are your school's discipline or rules, in your opinion,  too strict?  

II. Prediction
By looking at the title “Rules of behavior in UK schools”, can you predict what this text mainly talks about?

III. Skimming
Read the text and make a summary of it.
The text mainly tells us how UK schools discipline and punish students and how Freya protested against her punishment.

IV. Chewing and digesting
Read Freya’s case and answer the following questions.
1. Why did Freya receive 11 detentions?
Because she broke school rules, such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door. 

2. Why did Freya protest against the punishment she received?
Because she thinks that repeated detentions disrupted her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. 

3. What effects did Freya have on school discipline in Scotland?
Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.

4. Do you think the headmaster and her teachers should sign a letter to promise to respect her civil rights? Why or why not?
Yes. With Freya making the news, schools may face huge pressure from the public or even some civil rights organizations. It’s also necessary for the school to come up with a better way to discipline students.
No. Because in that case, it will be hard for schools to discipline their students in the future.

5. What do you think of parents signing an agreement to ensure their children accept school discipline and rules, as well as accepting the responsibility for their children's behavior?
Even with parents signing an agreement, students may violate the schools’ discipline and rules. A better solution must come from a mutual understanding between schools and families through equal and effective dialogues aimed at increasing kids' awareness of obeying  discipline and rules.

V. Post reading

What do you think of your school's disciplines and rules? Are there any rules that don’t make sense? Why do you think so?
