Same Rule for Everyone, Even the Boss

with Sage

Sage the wise owl stands beside a classroom rules chart, pointing a feathered wing at a line where the teacher's own name is written alongside the students'.

Define what makes a rule fair using your own words
Explain what it means for two people to be in the same situation
Identify when a rule applies to the person in charge
Spot an unfair rule and explain which part makes it unfair

Key terms

fair rule: a rule that treats people the same
same situation: when the same things are true for everyone
equal treatment: giving each person the same fair deal
person in charge: the leader, like a teacher or coach

The Same Situation

Two people are in the same situation when the same things are true for both of them. Everyone who is about to eat is in the same situation, so the rule wash your hands before snack should apply to all of them. If a rule helps some eaters skip washing but not others, that is unfair, because people in the same spot are being treated differently for no good reason.

Even The Leader Follows

A fair rule applies to everyone, including the person in charge. The teacher, the coach, and even the principal must follow it too. If the rule says no phones during the lesson, the teacher cannot play games on a phone while telling students they may not. Being the boss does not put you outside the rules. Leaders following their own rules is a big part of fairness.

Worked examples

Two students both arrive late on the same day. What is the fair rule?

Ask if they are in the same situation: yes, both late on the same day.
A fair rule treats the same situation the same way.
Give both students the same consequence.

Answer: Both students get the same consequence, because they are in the same situation.

The rule says no running inside, but the coach runs inside anyway. Fair?

Check who the rule should cover: everyone inside the building.
Check if the leader follows it: the coach does not.
A fair rule applies even to the person in charge.

Answer: Not fair. The coach is skipping a rule she makes others follow.

Hello, thinkers! I am Sage. Here is our one big idea for today: a fair rule treats people in the SAME situation the SAME way, and it applies to everyone — even the people in charge. Let's unpack 'same situation.' Two people are in the same situation when the same conditions apply to both of them. For example: everyone who is about to eat is in the same situation. So a rule that says 'Wash your hands before snack' is fair because every single person who is about to eat must do it. But if that rule only applied to some eaters and not others, it would be unfair — not because of how the rule looks or how old it is, but because it is treating people in the same spot differently. Now the part many people forget: even the person in charge must follow the rule. The teacher, the coach, even the principal — that is the head of a school — must follow it too. If the rule says 'No phones during the lesson,' and the teacher plays games on a phone while telling you that you cannot, that is unfair. The boss is skipping a rule they made others follow. So when you check if a rule is fair, ask two questions: Do people in the same situation get the same treatment? Does the rule apply to everyone, including the leader? If you ever feel stuck, just try those two questions. They work every time!

Activity

Sort each rule into the FAIR pile or the UNFAIR pile and say why

Practice

Name a rule and explain why it should apply to the teacher too.

Tell why two late kids should get the same consequence.

Common mistakes to avoid

Leaders do not follow their own rules.A fair rule applies to everyone, even the teacher or coach in charge.
A rule is fair if the boss says so.A rule is fair only when it treats the same situation the same way.

Check your understanding

What makes a rule fair?

Two students both arrive late to class on the same day. A fair rule would:

The class rule says 'Raise your hand before speaking.' Who must follow it for the rule to be fair?

Why is this unfair: 'No running inside, but the coach gets to run inside whenever she likes'?

Recap

A fair rule treats people in the same situation the same way, and it applies to everyone, even the leader. Ask two questions: do same-situation people get the same treatment, and does the rule cover the person in charge too?

Reflect

Think of a rule at school that should apply to grown-ups too.
