I did decided to be a Legalist, because of love clarity and Legalism is so clear. I thought it would be fun for someone who is not a law and order kind of guy like me to argue for that philosophy. Society will have laws, which everyone must obey and if you don't obey those laws you will be punished. Make sure the laws are clear and they are posted where everyone can see them. Isn't that what we do as teachers? Those of us who have taught middle school, understand the importance of consequences. If the kids see no immediate consequences for their behavior, they will continue to misbehave. We use rewards and punishments, because kids of those age groups cannot always be reached through logic. By the way, all teachers who post their rules in their classes and follow through on those consequences are Legalists.
