lj115+Pet+Peeves


 * Pet Peeves**(What You're Trying to Prove)


 * I believe that rules should be consistent.**


 * Three Reasons**
 * 1) **People can not finish what they are doing. Example: I couldn't finish teaching my friend how to dive.**
 * 2) **People take advantage of rule changes. Example:Some substitute teachers let kids do whatever they want because the kids say the teacher lets them do it.**
 * 3) **You could have to restart things. Example: Rules could change on a report you have all ready done, and then you would have to restart the whole thing.**


 * Facts/Experts/Opinions**
 * **Mr.Schoch says, " What is allowed is taught."**
 * **Kids Health says "** **When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom." **


 * Exaggerated Effects**
 * **I will have to restart my life if rules don't become consistent**
 * **Soon we will have to staple the rules into substitute teachers brains**

=//**Some Rules Drool**//=


 * Does your little sister not have to clean her room anymore because Mom changed the house rules? Did you get a C on your book report just because your teacher had a last- minute rule change? Did your school ban a sport the day that you caught the Flu? " Come on, guys! Why won't you play wall ball with me?" Now, you feel like a goldfish in a tank of sharks. Did your school suddenly ban sweats and you walk into school with those baggy-pants on? Now, you've got a lunch detention. Or even worse. A suspension.**


 * My pet peeve is when rules are not consistent, or you are not told about rule changes.**


 * Kids Health says "** **When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom." If you don't do this ** //**WHAM!** //**you get in trouble, and who knows, maybe one teacher told you the rules were changed. I not only hate non-consistent rules because of the consequences, but also because of a lot of other things.**

 * Once upon a time, my friends and I were at the pool. We asked one life guard if we could teach our friend to dive in the diving well. They told us " Of course!" In the middle of teaching her how to dive, the lifeguards changed their shifts. Little Miss ' I don't care what anybody else says', told us. " You're not allowed to dive of the side here." And that was the end of that.**
 * And we never dived there again.**


 * Who knew that non-consistent rules are such a problem?**


 * I did!**


 * Who knew that tasks get restarted because of this?**


 * I did!**


 * Who knew that bad grades occur a lot from this?**


 * Maybe I did not. But still. I'm aware of it. Unlike all the other teachers, or coaches, or parents, or all the other rule makers and breakers in the world that want to mix things up and make it new.**


 * Also, people have to restart things because of non-consistent rules. For example, r****ules could change on a report you have all ready done, and then you would have to restart the whole thing. And meanwhile, your classmate you saved the project for the night before the day it was due got an A, while you where struggling to pass with a B-. Soon people** **will have to restart my life if rules don't become consistent.**


 * What I probably hate the most about rule changes is that p****eople take advantage of them.** **Some substitute teachers let kids do whatever they want because they change the rules.** **Soon we will have to staple the rules into substitute teachers brains.** **Mr. Schoch, a school teacher, says,****" What is allowed is taught." This means that if you let somebody do something constantly, that means that you are teaching them to do it.**


 * I get that " You want to change things up and keep it fresh", but seriously, do not change it in the middle of things. At least wait until your done with it. So next time you think about changing the rules, think about everyone else.**


 * They want to stay the same.**
