Learning-

The peer pair understands the meaning of code of conduct as a set of rules outlining the norms, rules and responsibilities or proper practices and failing to obey the code of conduct can have negative consequences. This helps them to increase their knowledge about the rules as well as their determination to abide by the rules.

Challenges –

Since this task was done along with the teachers and the parents, the peer pair doesn’t face any such hard challenges.
