@Tiffany12885917 @MTeleshia @EducationLaw2 I totally agree. Students need to practice advocating for what they believe in at an early age. Students must do this in a respectable manner and within the guidelines of their school. I also believe students who advocate become great future leaders. @EducationLaw2 @EducationLaw2

@katelynmoore78 @EducationLaw2 I completely agree. School must maintain a safe environment and some protests are not always peaceful. I believe students should find a cause they believe in and continue to support and express their opinions in a peaceful manner.@EducationLaw2 #EducationLaw

@EducationLaw2 Yes, The First Amendment guarantees students the right to advocate at school. However, advocating must be within the guidelines set forth by school policy. Walk-outs are subject to attendance policies and the shirts may violate the dress-code policy. @EducationLaw2 #EducationLaw2

@FelipeR91319711 @EducationLaw2 Felipe,
This was a great video! There are some great parents out there who home-school. I'm just not convinced that most parents who home school are going to put the time and responsibility into assuring their children meet all state requirements.

@RobynMueller20 @EducationLaw2 Robyn,
There are some parents who will do the research but there are others who do not know where to begin. State requirements are constantly changing and I believe the constant changes would frustrate parents even more!! #EducationLaw2 @EducationLaw2

@EducationLaw2 No, I do not believe homeschooling is equivalent instruction because some parents are not qualified to teach a broad range of subjects. In a classroom setting, teachers are certified and qualified to meet the learning needs of students.

@TrentMi39734430 @EducationLaw2 I agree, all children deserve an education. Many times, parents are unaware of their rights and the zero-reject policy helps parents advocate for their children a quality education. @EducationLaw2 #EducationLaw2

@CarlyTrammel @EducationLaw2 I totally agree, I've always believed some schools refuse to identify some students as having a disability to hold down the costs associated with special education.

@EducationLaw2 I support the zero-reject philosophy. I believe all students regardless of their disability deserve to be educated. Schools should specifically design a plan to meet a student's unique need in order to enable them to develop their full potential.#EducationLaw2
