Check Ms Sue's answer to your question below. There is a list of students' and teachers' rights.
These are complex questions, some of which are controversial.
Let's take one of the students' rights -- and therefore the teachers' responsibilities.
Students have a right to a safe learning environment. Teachers have the responsibility of providing this safe learning environment. If a student is bullying other kids, then the teacher has the responsibility to stop the bullying. Of course, this could be seen as infringing on the bully's rights. But, as the old saying goes: I have the right to swing my arm -- until my fist hits your nose. Then I've lost the right to swing my arm.
