![]() Others will just think it is impossible and unreasonable for a secondary four student accept to have such dirty and uncomfortable learning environment. Besides the negative impact on our health, having a fifty classroom will give others a bad impression on us. If we still keep on throwing rubbish on the floor, we will have a higher chance to get sick because of breathing in the air which contains bacteria. The circulation of air may not be as good as before. Thus, windows will be closed during most of the time. In addition, we will use the air-conditioner more frequently in the coming months because of the raising temperature. Therefore it is necessary for us to put the rubbish or any other used materials inside the dust bin. Smell of the food would further attract pests which have potential danger giving us health problems as pests are usually dirty. It is because the air inside is breathing continuously by all of us and the bacteria and virus in the rubbish like tissues used by classmates, packing of the food will stay in the air if we just put rubbish everywhere inside the classroom. In the classroom where nearly forty students learning and sitting together in such small area, the environment will need to be clean enough. First of all, the purposes of keeping clean and tidy include health, beauty absence of disgusting smells and to avoid the spread of dirt from one to another. If we don’t then we will need to face number of possible problems. Always set a reward for completed tasks.It is important to keep and maintain clean environment in our classroom at any time. These should not be severe punishments, as this is not likely to be the right incentive for completing the task, but something that may be mundane or on the boring side. Identify the rules and explain them clearly, setting yourself or your family consequences if they are not done by a certain time. It may be a good idea to start smaller, introducing just a few house rules at a time as each one becomes more of a habit. Setting unachievable rules will only make it easier to break them and make them more difficult to explain. ![]() The best way to set house rules is to frame them in the context of habit building. In general, a good house rule is one that helps to build useful habits either for yourself or your family members, allowing basic tasks such as tidying up or making a bed an automatic process that you do not have to think about. ![]() 'Good' house rules will look different for everybody, depending on who you have in your household and your tolerance for mess or chaos. Let's just say I am far better at organizing kitchen cabinets nowadays and, once again, my dad was right. Given that I only try to go once a week, this is punishment in and of itself as I often make myself live without my favorite snack until my next shop. I didn't have anybody to tell me off for doing this anymore, but I quickly discovered that putting an empty packet or box back in my cupboard means I forget to buy more when I next head to the grocery store. If you empty it, you get rid of itīack to those half-eaten, open food packets.Īfter being found guilty of finishing off all of the smaller packets of chips in the variety bag and shoving the big wrapper back in the cupboard, the rule of 'if you empty it, you get rid of it' was quickly added to the family rota.Īs an adult, I didn't see this as big a deal. Not only does this help to reduce waste, making it one of many ways to be sustainable at home, but makes me more careful with my belongings, knowing that mistreating something like that poor side plate will ultimately just add another task to my to-do list in the end. As an adult, I find myself still trying to fix anything I break (within reason, that side plate I smashed the other week was definitely beyond repair – whoops!). Never hide a broken thing, mend itĪlthough I certainly do not break as many things nowadays as I once did, I quickly learned that trying to hide or forget about something I had broken would never end well. I really should not have complained so much. When I was younger this would usually mean getting on with making my bed, cleaning the living room, and practicing my violin, but as an adult, it has translated to cleaning a kitchen sink or taking out the trash – you know, all of those exciting adult responsibilities. ![]() My approach of simply sitting down for just a few minutes first almost always led to the task never being done or, in a slightly better scenario, getting done but being rushed when I was already tired. While this used to annoy me as a child, I hate to admit that, once again, he was right. 'Just get it over with and you don't have to do anything for the rest of the day,' my dad always used to go on at me. Get it over with, and relax for the rest of the day
