✓ Yeah, of course, as any school might also have, its rules are wearing uniforms, being on time, and not skipping classes.
The subject 'rules' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'uniform' should be pluralized to 'uniforms' to match the plural subject 'rules'.
× It depends. In primary school I guess so because students need to be taught discipline and how to listen to others, while in high school students who have more freedom.
✓ It depends. In primary school, I guess so because students need to be taught discipline and how to listen to others, while in high school, students have more freedom.
The original sentence is incomplete and lacks a verb in the second clause. Adding 'have' after 'students' completes the sentence and clarifies the meaning.

✓ I think in my school all teachers are dedicated and it's really cool when you have an opportunity to study with such people because you can see the patience behind their eyes and you want to learn more.
The word 'patient' is an adjective or noun meaning someone who receives medical care. The correct noun here is 'patience', which means the ability to wait calmly or endure difficulties.

✓ Honestly, I think that we have the perfect amount of rules at school because we have a lot of free time that we can dedicate to things we like to do, but at the same time we stick to discipline.
The phrase 'stick to the discipline' is incorrect; 'discipline' here is an uncountable noun and does not need 'the'. Also, 'things that we like to do' can be simplified to 'things we like to do' for smoother flow.
× Fortunately now all my teachers since primary school were great and I'm really grateful for that because As for me it is much easier to learn information with not strict teacher but we were friendly type.
✓ Fortunately, all my teachers since primary school were great and I'm really grateful for that because, as for me, it is much easier to learn information with a not strict teacher, but we were the friendly type.
The phrase 'with not strict teacher' is incorrect; it should be 'with a not strict teacher' to include the article 'a'. Also, 'As for me' should not be capitalized mid-sentence. Adding commas improves readability. 'We were friendly type' needs 'the' before 'friendly type' to specify the group.
× But if I had to choose between rule 3 school and general school, I would choose general because the discipline there is better and students are more focused.
✓ But if I had to choose between a rule-free school and a general school, I would choose the general one because the discipline there is better and students are more focused.
The phrase 'rule 3 school' is unclear and likely a typo; it should be 'rule-free school'. Also, articles 'a' and 'the' are needed before 'rule-free school' and 'general school' to specify the nouns properly. 'General one' clarifies the choice.
