 * 1) ** Dress Code Violation ** - If the students in our school didn’t obey the dress code, then it would give our school a bad image, and no body would look respectable. How you present yourself is very important. For example, let’s say Jason is receiving a donation with Chad from the Jewish Federation. Jason is wearing a blue shirt tucked in with a kipah and a belt, and Chad is wearing a red shirt untucked, with a Football sweatshirt, and no kipah. If I was giving the check to the boys I would only want to give it Jason. If you violate the Dress Code, you should apologize, and try not to do it again.
 * 2)   **Bullying**- Bullying is a very bad thing that could happen at a school. Bullies are bad people, who waste there time making fun of other students. Bullying should be prohibited, because it can really tear up students lives. If there are any bullies at your school, you should mention them to a teacher. A bully should be required to apologize for there wrong doings, and they should never bully again.
 * 3) ** Vandalizing School Property ** - If you are vandalizing school property, it shows you have no respect for the school. Schools are a very important, and if you vandalize them, then you are vandalizing your education center. Also, you have to make everyone’s job harder, the janitor’s have to clean it up, and the principal will have to notify everyone that vandalism is bad. Students should never vandalize school property, because it affects the schools environment and community.
 * 4) ** Cheating ** - Cheating on a work sheet, homework, quiz, and test are extremely bad. If you are caught cheating, people will think of you badly. If you cheat on a test, you are definitely cheating your self, because you are not learning the material. Cheating is bad, and it should be forbidden. I would much rather bomb a test, than cheat and get an A. In general, cheating is really bad and you should not do it.
 * 5) ** Disrespecting Your Teacher ** - If you disrespect your teacher, it tells them that you have no business at school, and you don’t want to learn. Your teacher is your educator, and they are your guide to the future. Teachers are extremely helpful, and if you talk back to them, or interrupt them, it is really rude. If you disagree with your teacher, speak to them privately. Teachers are very important in our community, and disrespecting them would be out of your mind. Overall, don’t disrespect teachers, because it could become a habit and that could affect you later on.
