Correct student behavior on the bus is i necessary in order to avoid confusion and a lot of noise.

Talking suould be done quietly with shouting and no scuffling fighting in the bus.
 Of even more importance to the school is correct classroom behavior. Students should come quietly into the room and take their seatse There should be slaminy of books down on the desk tops and no loud talking. Students should raise their hands before sneaking in the classroom.
