Chapter 7

I enjoyed reading this chapter because it had a lot of important and helpful information in it. I also liked how with each subsection there was a short story of a teacher or student who has dealt with a problem dealing with that subsection. I'm glad that teachers have legal rights like tenure so that you cant just be fired for no good reason like financial cut backs. I didnt know there were so many laws dealing with copyright but i'm glad they outlined the laws of copyright materials. It talked about how some schools allow certain religious activities in the classroom. I dont think this is a good idea especially now a days because as it said earlier in the chapter, your going to have many students with different religious background in your class and it would not be fair to practice christian religion but not hinduism. I think that religion should just be left out of the classroom and practiced outside school on their own time. I also liked how they give you a table of physical and behavioral indicators of child abuse and neglect.
