Question 2. Do you agree with this rule? Explain your answer.

Although the school is much concern and caring for the students to inculcate good habits, not all students would want to loiter around, there might be other reasons for going to malls and nearby places in their school uniform. Like said, some students do not have lunch at home and needs to buy their lunch. It is quite troublesome for them to go back home and change into their home clothes and go out again to buy lunch. This rule might be good for exercising good habits but not for some other situations.
