John Cage loved these rules
I got this from the wonderful Open Culture website.
It is great to have students and teachers read these rules then choose one to which to respond -- writing a comment. You could use them also as prompts for role plays, speeches, debates, writing, etc.
RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for a while.
RULE TWO: General duties of a student: Pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.
RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher: Pull everything out of your students.
