Abstract

Two general types of regulations govern American schools, laws and rules. With laws, society seeks to control the school and make it productive; with rules, the school strives to govern itself internally. In a sense rules become the school's way of demonstrating it accepts the notion of control and wishes to foster respect for law its graduates will need when they move from the school environment into larger society. Ideally, school rules are fashioned exclusively by school personnel-students, teachers, and administrators (the degree to which each of these groups participates in the rule-making procedure varies, of course, from school to school)-and crises inevitably arise when outsiders interfere. It goes without saying that crises also arise when an educational institution adopts rules in conflict with school laws.
