Different schools around the world have different rules. Some of these rules might seem interesting. Let's take a look at a few of them!
In some parts of the United States, students are allowed to ride horses to school. They have special places to tie up their horses and keep them safe. This is because riding horses is a common way of getting around in those areas.
In South Korea, students not only wear uniforms during school but also on their way to and from school. This is to show discipline (纪律) even outside of class. You might see groups of students wearing the same uniform waiting for the bus or walking together.
In Germany, students have a rule to address their teachers using formal titles like "Herr" or "Frau". They do this to show respect to their teachers. It's important for them to be polite and respectful to their teachers all the time.
In Finland, students have a special rule. No matter the weather, they always have outdoor playtime. Even if it's raining or snowing, they go outside to play games and connect with nature. This is because they believe playtime is important for learning and well-being.
These interesting school rules show us how different countries have their own ways of doing things. It's funny to see how rules can be unique and reflect the values and traditions of each place.
