Citizen Me!
ALLthe

YOURCITIZENSHIP
Part Two
Rights
Sometimes
rights……are the flip side of
responsibilities.
Responsibilities
So if the handbook
says you can’t do
something……it is silently giving
you the right to do
something else!
No wallets
with chains!
You have the right to
bring a regular wallet.
So school handbooks are
usually the opposite of
the U.S. Constitution
because they list
responsibilities instead
of rights.
Try out some
examples of how
responsibilities can
silently tell you what
your rights are!
“Do not throw food in the lunch room” is silently saying you have the right to:
Eat in the lunch room!
Attend athletic activities!
“Students must be seated during athletic activities” is silently saying you have the right to:
Wear appropriate T-shirts!
“No T-shirts with inappropriate slogans” is silently saying you have the right to:

What rights do you have at your school?
The adults in
charge at home
give you rights
that only apply at
home.
For example, you
probably have the
right to eat the
food they buy, and
you might have the
right to watch TV
and play video
games.

What responsibilities do you have at your school?
City charters often
contain rules, kind of
like a school handbook.
CITY
Laws that apply only
within a city are
called ordinances.
If a city ordinance tells
you not to do
something...…then you know you
have a responsibility
not to do that thing.
CITY
NO person may have a
dog that barks at
night
Even if the ordinance just
says what the punishment
is……you can still figure out
you have a responsibility
not to do that thing.
CITY
There is a $50 fine for flying a kite in the park.
