What rights should be protected for students and teachers?

 The constitution protects some of the rights of both the students and the teachers. However, as we saw in the many cases and protests, there are many ways those rights could be violated. A big one is freedom of speech, as seen in the Tinker v de moins when students wore a black band in protest of the Vietnam war. Students should be able to express their opinions and what they believe in. That way, they create a school environment where they feel safe and ready to learn. Another big one was the Brown v board where they fought about segregation in transportation. We want our students to feel respected and equal to their peers regardless of their gender, culture, religion, etc. These protests have made history and changed how we are today. Teachers also deserve equality and a fair amount of pay for all the hard work they do. They should be treated as the professionals they are by the students, parents, and peers. Everyone has the right to speak up for themselves and receive what they deserve. 

How does gender affect the teaching profession?

 Throughout history, there has not been equality within female and male teachers. The main issues being that males get paid more than females. It started  with the roles women had of just doing domestic tasks  and not having access to education. As roles changed, women were able to do more, however they were placed obstacles so it would be harder for them to achieve what they wanted. Males have always wanted to dominate and that's why they feared women being their equals. Men didn't believe women were capable of doing a mans job. They looked down on them, therefore didn't give them all the rights they deserved. Women are seen as soft and not educated enough to teach others the way a male is. Even though there are more female teachers today, there is a lot of criticism as to whether the children are actually learning, and if the teacher is qualified. Even thought things have changed for the better of women teachers, I think there will always be that mistrust from critics who think women are not worthy of teaching the future generation.
