    1. As a public school teacher, can you exercise your own ‘personal liberty’ in how you dress?

      I feel that teachers should be able to wear what they want to wear as long as they're covered or aren't wearing super-tight attire. If students are allowed to express themselves, then they should have the same right. I believe the only time this could be challenged is if you're working at a private school where they do have a dress code that you need to follow.

    2. As diversity increases throughout the United States, school policies and procedures continue to be challenged in our court systems. When pursuing legal action, the goal is to ensure that schools provide a fair and reasonable system of education for all students.

      Living in a very diverse area, I feel that teachers need to be aware of how school policies affect all students. Legal decisions help guide schools to provide fair education, so that teachers can support every student’s learning and rights.

    3. He believes this book will provide a rich experience for his students and provide stimulating class discussion and debate around identity and race.

      It is a bummer when you feel like a book would be great for students to read, but then the fear of repercussions takes over.

    4. The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation

      I feel like every teacher should build an environment where students feel encouraged to learn whether it's on their own or with classmates.

    5. Ethics provides a foundation for what teachers should do in their roles and responsibilities as an educator.

      I think this is important because, even though we all have our own beliefs, we shouldn’t place them on students.
