Taking a Stand: What are Rights?

Right: The moral or legal entitlement or ability to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way. Something you may do if you choose.

Please share one right you think children should have. It could be a right you already know you have, or one you think children should have, but don’t.

    • 1. I think kids should be able to to make choices.
      2. Boy should be able to skate any
      were.
      3. I think moms should have more help their children.
      4. I also think that kids would be able to be happy in school and have a good time.

  13. A right is something what every kid needs. Having right is having freedom,citizenship,care,and urgent need. Having freedom is also about having love. If a child does not have love, the child will think that no one will be there for him/her and will not learn what they need to learn.

  14. I think that it is not good for children to do work on the age of fifteen or under because if they get to much or do to much work they might die.

  15. I think it is not right for kids to work at the age sixteen or under because some kids if they work so hard or a lot they could probably die from working so hard.

  16. A right is something every kid needs.A right is like freedom which is very important because everyone needs their own freedom like not working.

  17. i don’t think it is right for kids to work cause when you are a kid you focus on their education not working and that is also why they give you parents so they take care of you not you take of your self and when you have no parents you have no choise but to go to foster care!
