Living in a land of chaos

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr Peatfield, a former police officer came into school to talk about the importance of rules. He gave a very funny presentation about what life might look like if rules didn't exist and people could do what they wanted, when they wanted.

At first, the idea of no rules was very popular with everyone but when we looked closer at the situations we might be faced with, it was a very different story.

Imagine if;

  • You could come to school when you wanted
  • You could look at the answers on the test sheet
  • You didn't wear school uniform
  • You didn't have to tell your parents what time you would be back
  • You could take anyone home
  • You could jump on the furniture

Mr Peatfield demonstrated how he would behave if he was in my class, in a world without rules.

Sat on a chair. Look where the chair is!!
Write back and tell everyone what you learned from this discussion. 

Ask yourself, did you think a world without rules would be a good place to live? 
Do you still have the same opinion?
