break the rules

[jasonlulu_2000]

"There is a lot of bad behavior which breaks the school rules. "

I think only somebody can break the rules. So I want to change it as "
There is a lot of bad behavior which is against the school rules."

Am I right? Can some behavior break the rules?

Thanks!

The behaviour is the result that leads to breaking the rules. You can use either sentence.

I agree.

"There is a lot of bad behavior which is against the school rules."

Your suggestion is better than the original, though it could suggest that there is some bad behavior that is not against the school rules. This possibility is removed if you put a comma after 'behavior'.
