I will also respond to your Goals document very soon. All the best, Marc Marc, Your exploration of student rights sounds interesting. Student rights are often expressed in terms of conflicts with authority, as in the example you gave from Montera. I am also interested in the students' right to an education. In my experience, students start with a pretty immature understanding of their rights, emphasizing their personal freedom, and it is a struggle for them to grasp that sometimes the expression of their desires can impinge on the rights of another.
Schools are institutions that emphasize conformity and compliance.
This often seems oppressive, but it is not always so. For example, at my school, we have a vice principal who walks the halls during passing period with a bullhorn, cell phone, stopwatch and clip board. Students who are late are given after-school detention, and if they miss that, Saturday detention. If they blow these off, then they are suspended. As a result, the halls are quiet during class, and students are on time.
