These are the de facto rules of living in society. You may criticise the rules themselves but you can't really criticise teaching the rules, you have to give kids the tools they need to navigate in a society, once they know what the default rules are they're free to expand and/or break them.

School is, for the vast majority of kids, a good framework for life.

It depends on how those rules are taught. If students are merely informed about or given examples of the rules and expectations, I would consider that to be more beneficial and neutral than my experience, which was to be harshly informed of these rules as if they were absolute necessities for existence, and punished excessively for alleged violations.
