Professionals always emphasize that, when facing opponents who don’t know the rules of conduct, the best approach is to stay calm, explain patiently, and, if it’s a serious game, refer to the regulations. But how should one handle this when not even the organizers, such as in school tournaments, know the rules of conduct or the official rules of chess?

Most of the conduct is common sense. And assuming that the school tournaments are casual and not uscf rated (if they are rated then they need a tournament director which knows the rules of conduct) it really doesn't matter at all.

What "rules of conduct" are you refering to, Syger-O?
Touching pieces?
Distuptive behaviour?
Wearning jeans?

I used to help run scholastic chess tournaments where the kids don't know or understand tournament rules like castling, no talking except to offer a draw, "Can I use the bathroom during a game?", not knowing how to mate with a K+Q, not knowing what stalemate is to parents helping their kids cheat.
You can talk to and teach the kids. The parents? Not always a pleasant experience. When that happens you have to tough love them and kick the kid out just to teach the parents a lesson, and that rules apply to them too.
