How are classroom procedures different from classroom rules? Why are both important to

First, we generally concerned about imparting knowledge to our students. We teach not just for
the salary but we teach because we have the main objectives to be able to learn by the learners.
Second, we learn and open for suggestions and opinions of the students. For us teachers, it is

inside the class. With this, it will lessen the fear of the students and the teacher would also know
