Questions & Answers about Vogliamo vedere un buon comportamento a scuola.

Why is the adjective buon instead of buono here?
Because it comes right before comportamento, which is a masculine singular noun starting with a consonant. Just like the word for "a" is un (not uno) before this noun, buono drops its final -o to become buon.
Why is the second verb vedere not conjugated?
Because it directly follows vogliamo (we want). When you have two verbs connected together like "we want to see", only the first one changes to match the person doing the action. The second verb stays in its dictionary form (the infinitive).
Why does the sentence use a scuola without an article like la?
With certain common everyday places like school, bed, or theater, Italian uses the simple preposition a without combining it with a "the" article. This is exactly like English, where we say "at school" rather than "at the school".
Do I need to put noi (we) at the beginning of the sentence?
No, it is not required. The verb vogliamo already ends in -iamo, which clearly tells us that the subject is "we". You would only add noi if you wanted to add special emphasis.
