The teachers rights and responsibility I chose was on page 385, I chose to talk about situation #3. Wow, is what I first have to say about what happened to this teacher. I feel that what goes on in a teacher's personal life is up to him/her; especially if it is not causing problems in the classroom. One, the students do not have to know her living arrangements. There is nothing in the law that says as teacher you cannot live with your significant other. I think that the school that she was working in was very judgemental about what she had decided to do in her life. In that particular case, that teacher did break the norm of getting married and then living together. But who cares, if you do not want to get married, people have their reasons. You as a teacher are not subject o be married to live with someone.
The student's rights and responsibility I chose was on page 397, I chose to talk about situation #13. I feel that it was wrong for the children to get suspended for wearing t-shirts with www marked over with red ink. I think that it is free speech ad anyone has the right to protest and say what they want to say. I am glad that the school system did not win in this case because it breaks one of the amendments. Just because the student it not an adult does not mean that you can take their right away or make them not aware of their rights.

I agree that the teacher's personal life is not the school's business, provided she is not advocating her lifestyle over a more traditional one.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the freedom of speech situation. As long as the students are not infringing upon the rights or safety of other students, I think they should be allowed to wear the t-shirts.
That is true about other people being in a situation that we are not familiar with. A lot of people these days are very judgemental and do not know where someone has been. People just need to stand back and take care of themselves and not worry about other people's business.
