Thoughtful Ideas on "Rights" from Italy and Delmar,
Maryland
HELLO FRIENDS!
I have a lot of rights at school: I'm respected by my school friends, my
teachers usually listen to me, I can express my opinion about a lot of
things, they understand my problems and try to help me to solve them. But
sometimes I don't agree about the short break time we have, or about the
way things are cared: for example our toilets are not always very clean,
we have dirty walls, old desks and chairs. Or, we haven't got any closets
where to keep our books or clothes safe. Last month something very
unpleasant happened because
of this: one of my school-friends was robbed of a small amount of
money.
BYEBYE Alessandro
Hi, I'm Roberta and I think my rights at school are: to be heard, have a
break, to learn, to be respected. In my opinion these rights aren't
always respected. In fact some teachers respect these rights, other don't.
For example some teachers don't allow us to go to the toilet, but this
isn't important. It is important when they don't hear to us, but this
isn't frequent. My school starts at 8.10 and finishes at 13.40. But in my
opinion it must start at 9.00 and finish at about 15.00.

Dear Heather,
I want to write you to talk about the rights of children. I think that
rights are a way to protect and defend children. My favourite rights are
the rights to have a family, the right to have education, the right to be
loved. What are your favourite rights? Are your rights respected?
Bye bye, See you soon

Dear friends,
Nowadays children have got lots of rights at school. In fact, we are
usually respected by our teachers. They listen to us, they try to
understand our problems and so on. I feel at ease at school, but sometimes
school friends don't respect our rights and space.

Dear friends,
I think it is right if parents decide the time I have to be back home
because they could worry if we don't come back within a certain time .
They usually want to protect us from dangers of every kind. I decide with
my parents about the TV programs I can watch. When we want to watch a
film, the first thing they do is to read something about it in the
newspaper: whether it is a good film or not, if it isn't too violent or
coarse, if the plot is interesting. In order to grow up healthy, in our
country it is compulsory to do vaccinations: I think it is a good way to
fight some kinds of illnesses. A right diet too is very important for our
growth: we can't be in good health if we don't get a well balanced diet
with all we need to grow up. I sometimes happen to hear about problems of
young girls or boys, connected with diet, for example bulemia and
anorexy.
Bye Bye

Hi friends,
In my family, my parents decide what time I must go home, they also
decide when I eat, the films I can I see. In my country some vaccination
are compulsory to protect us from illnesses. My family allows me to go out
with friends at night Only when I'm on holiday, because the day after I
don't go to school.
See you soon

Hi friends
We are Mario and Rimaiz. We like school because we learn studying and
staying with others, and because we like our teachers. We think school is
beautiful because we have good relationship with both adults and children.
Our teachers sometimes don't listen to us, for example when we raise our
hands during their explanations. In our school we don't have space enough
to play and relax during the break-time. On Saturday we don't go to school
and we like it: we think that after a week of work we have the right to
stay at home and spend our time with our families.
Bye , Bye Mario and Rimaiz
Last summer in evening I used going out riding bike. My parents required
me to come home very soon. When I watch a film not good for me, my parents
want me to change program or turnoff television. If I don't do that they
scold me. In my family often we talk about to programs good and bad for
boys. In the world many persons die because they are not usually
vaccinated against serious illnesses and now there are many association
which try to do something to solve this problem.

Hello! We are Chiara and Valeria. I think my rights at school are: to be
listened and respected by the teachers, to have a break, go to the
toilette when we need it, and to express our opinions. We think it isn't
good when our teachers shout.
Bye Valeria and Chiara
Hi friends ,
We are Manuela and Elisa. We like the school because we like studying. At
school there are some teachers that don't respect our rights. The teachers
we like best are the teacher of art and music because they are the best
ones. Parents in our school can visit the classrooms where we study. At
Saturday we don't go to school. The hour in the day when we are at school
are six. Every one are about fifty-five minutes. We go home at forty to
one. When do you go home?
Bye bye Manuela and Elisa
Response from Ashely at Delmar
Hi, I think we should have rights at school.We get off of school at
3:00.We get off on Saturday and Sunday. Do you get off school on Sunday? I
don't really have anything to say about rights because I think we have
good enough rights at my school.
Your new friend,
Ashley Roberts
