Question

How will responsibilities as a teacher influence the rights of a student?

Answer 1

I told my students that our country is a democracy, but my classroom wasn't! Since I was responsible for whatever went on in my classroom, I adopted the opposite of the Burger King motto! "This isn't Burger King. You do it my way."

They got the message.

Answer 2

Perhaps the responsibility of keeping all students safe might interfere with the rights of students to have a private locker. However, the courts have ruled that school officials have the right to search lockers if they believe a student has hidden contraband in a locker.

Essentially the responsibilities of teachers is to uphold the rights of all students.

Answer 3

Writeacher is correct. But one of the rights of students is to learn and Writeacher's methods were the best way for all students to learn.

Answer 4

I am right there with Writeacher! So long as they want to do it my way, they can do what they want <G>
