Example

Your school posts a new rule that students can't use their phones during lunch.

The rule is written on a poster and put up in the school office. It won't start until 20 days later. If a student or parent doesn't like the rule, they can write a complaint within 10 days. The principal will then hold a meeting to listen to the complaints before deciding if the rule will start.
