Dude, Where's My Rights ?
The Blue Monkey has a problem. Her teachers are not asking her in her school what her rights and responsibilities should be. Can you help her up the ladder?
To do this you'll need to:
- Understand why having an active role is important to a rights and responsibilities policy
- Realise where you and your teachers are at on the active participation ladder.
- Understand the active roles of teachers so you can climb the ladder yourself.

A rights and responsibilities policy is a dead piece of paper if the people it refers to do not have active roles. The more active your role is, the more your rights will be recognised, and the better it will be for everyone. An active role can be defined as one where you have the power to make decisions.
