Chapter 10 (School Law)

Laws regulate the rights and resposiblities of teachers, but two limitations affect the extent to which they can guide our professional decisions. First, laws are purposely general, so they can apply to a variety of specific situations. Second limimtaion of laws is that they were created in response to problems that existed in the past, so they don't provide specific guidelines for future decisions. Teacher employment also needs guidelines. Teachers need a licensure, and a teaching contract. Also teachers are granted Tenure which is vary controversial to many. One thing that has been noticed and changed in prayer in school. There is a law that forbids the official use of religious symbols in schools.
