Blog Writing #21: Passive Modals

As you know, there are some rules in the class which are explicit, such as students who miss forty hours of class WILL BE DROPPED (by me). You know this, because you remember my world-famous song which IS ENTITLED (by me), "I'll be dropping you."

For this post, I want you to write one rule which IS UNWRITTEN (by me), yet clearly UNDERSTOOD (by you). Please write the rule in both active and passive voice, if possible. If you are inspired (by this assignment) to write more rules, feel free, but only one IS REQUIRED (by me).

For example:
Sleeping is not allowed in class.
Students must not sleep in class.

Homework should be turned in on time.
Students should turn in homework on time.

RULES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY STATED (BY YOUR CLASSMATES) MAY NOT BE USED AS A RESPONSE (BY YOU)
