Your right at a school is to learn. Outside of that you don't have any.

I'm a teacher so I guess I can't answer. Oh well, I'm answering anyway.
You have a right to security of your person and belongings, the right to dignified and respectful treatment, and the right to study in a positive learning environment.
Isn't your real question:
What can I get away with, and claim that the teacher is violating my rights?
I'd love to violate students' rights. But you know, I work in a junior high in Hualien County, Taiwan. The school is in a small town where NOBODY speaks English. Maybe six of the Chinese teachers on staff can sustain an English conversation. I speak a bit of Mandarin Chinese, but the kids all speak a Taiwanese dialect that is impossible for me. Half of the kids are aboriginal, and they speak their own language. Their English ability is very low. I work very hard to prepare interesting materials, and to firmly and kindly maintain discipline on the kids who don't want to be there.
I wish I had time to violate their rights, but I don't. Neither do your own teachers have time to violate yours.
Now, I have another question for you:
What are your RESPONSIBILITIES as a student?
I'll get more "thumbs down" for this answer than a "fire" button on a video game, but nobody ever said that being a teacher was supposed to be a popularity contest.

Students have the right for pretty much anything, except for injuring or threatening a teacher or fellow class mate. It is commonly misunderstood that a student has to do everything that the teacher tellsl them, but if a teacher gives a student a lunch detention, the students have the right to choose to not go because they have a "duty-free lunch."

teachers undergo the right called loco parentis, which measn when at the school, teachers act as a temporary parent. students can do just about anything they can AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE EDUCATION PROCESS. that is very important, usually schools make the rules, which are like no cursing and things like that. the teachers job is to keep religion out of school as much as posssible. look into the sumpreme court cases tinker v. des moines and New jersey v. TLO

Who better to answer than a teacher? They would have a manual in their possession with all the guidelines. Were you or your parents provided with a student handbook? If so, refer to it. If it's a specific problem, talk to a guidance counselor.

You have the right to an education. You have the right to learn, and you have the right to be respectful. That's about it. Everything else is a _gift_ to you that someone else has paid for!

Why don't you want answers from teachers? You want answers from children, instead?
