He carefully explains why each rule and procedure exists and asks students in each case if they believe the rule is fair and sensible.

Finally, the students agree that the list is fair and acceptable. Of the following, the best prediction of the grade level Michael teaches is:
 
  a. first grade.
  b. fifth grade.
