I WONDER By: Jeannie Kirby I wonder why the grass is green, And why the wind is never seen? Who taught the birds to build a nest, And told the trees to take a rest? O, when the moon is not quite round, Where can the missing bit be found? Who lights the stars, when they blow out, And makes the lightning flash about? Who paints the rainbow in the sky, And hangs the fluffy clouds so high? Why is it now, do you suppose, That Dad wont tell me, if he knows?

Third, stay at the canteen while waiting for the bus. Loitering outside the school will expose you to risks. Loners are the targets for bad influences or they may be they want to make fun of you. You can also be accused of a disciplinary case even if you do not commit it. After that, tell the disciplinary teachers if you see or know there are students who break the law. Do not interfere or punish them; you do not have the authority to take actions. Plus, you are endangering your safety as well as the bad students will take revenge on you. Make sure there is a teacher in charge of the class. There is a chance of student fights occurring in unattended classes. Tell the office after ten minutes the teacher does not show up. Before a teacher arrives, the head of the class takes charge by controlling the students. That is all to ensure students safety in school. I hope these guidelines will help them to study safely.
