· Choose one of the following issues regarding students’ rights and teachers’

· Answer the following: Explain the responsibilities you have as a teacher in the issue you
chose. What are the students' rights? Do you have a responsibility to limit their rights?
· Write a 700-1,050 word paper answering the above questions. Identify the rights and
responsibilities you will have as a teacher. How will your responsibilities as a teacher
influence the rights of your students? Is it fair to infringe on students' rights for the sake of the learning environment? Why or why not? Describe your own personal experience where a teacher's responsibilities limited the students' rights. How were you involved?
Then describe a situation in which the students’ rights might override a teacher's responsibility to maintain a safe learning environment.
