Help to think a word

[Unregistered]

I am now writing an essay and fail to figure out what word should i put i in the blanks below

Students will take advantages of the __________ of the school rules.

The meaning of the the 'blank' should be weakness(loose school rules),but it sound weird to put in the word.

Help me please

'Weakness' and 'loose' are two different things.
Do you want to say 'permissive'? That would be another word for 'loose'.
If you go here: Thesaurus.com
and type in 'weakness' or 'loose' I'm sure you'll find the word that you want.

I'm not an English teacher.

[queenbu]

Btw, the noun is 'permissiveness'.

[bianca]

or: leniency, if you wish...

Perhaps:

Students will take advantage of the laxity of the school rules.

Or:

Students will take advantage of the looseness of the school rules.

Or:

Students will take advantage of the lack of school rules.

Or:

Sudents will take advantage of the lack of enforcement of school rules.
