Teacher's Rights
I chose the issue applying for a position in the Teacher's Rights and Responsibilities Section. This situation causes a predicament for young woman who wants a career, however at some point may want to get married and have children. In years passed, a woman was expected to get married and raise a family. Today's world is quite different. School systems today look for employees who may not have to be out of work a lot. When teacher's have a family, things will come up, children will get sick, and life happens. Thankfully to Education Amendments and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 questions, such as, marital status, race, or age are illegal. A position should not be based on whether or not a woman chooses to marry or have children. All women should have the right to have a career and a family if she so chooses.
Student's Rights
I believe that it is unfair to award scholarships based on sex. Therefore, I chose the distribution of scholarships section of student's rights. Although criteria may lean to one sex or the other, scholarships can not be given solely on gender; thanks to Title IX. Boys may however receive more scholarships based on sports abilities,as spoke about on page 395, but scholarships can not be granted just because they are male. Scholarships should be based on the abilities of each individual, not on the sex of that person.

As a not too old woman, I am thankful that employers cannot ask me about my plans for the future. I think no matter what a person's age or marital status, something can always come up that would cause you to miss work sometimes. If you are older, it could be your health; younger, marriage, children, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt shows we have come a long way, when boys and girls have an equal chance to win. Not based on gender, but on performance whether it be athletic or academic.
