     What rights should be protected for students and teachers? The answer should be that everyone no matter their profession should have the same rights. That being said, it should be no different for a student or a teacher. For example the first amendment of freedom of speech, religion, protest, and press is not an amendment that most teachers or students would say they have.

Schools provide a safe place that everyone can come to five days out of the week to help children develop and become more educated each and every year. The purpose of school is to provide a equal education to everyone!
