16. Read the “Open Letter to School Children”. Rewrite the abstract, which you like and appreciate most.
Dear Children,
There are many things you should know about, and I am going to tell you about these things in this letter, so that you know what to do in school, and what to expect from it, from your teachers and classmates. You have probably been told, what your duties are: behave yourself, respect your teachers and classmates, do your homework, keep your notebooks tidy and up to date, come to class clean, be nice to everybody. But here we won't talk about your duties, which you already know, but rather about the things that others must do for you. We are going to talk about your rights.
No one should mistreat you because you are a child. No one should pull your ears, hit you or hurt you. No one should make fun of you, embarrass you in public, or be rude to you. Children must be treated well, must be loved and respected. You should always go to school happy and without fear.
No one should mistreat you because you are poor. To be poor is not a sin. Poverty is not your fault. If there are so many poor people, it is because there is injustice.
No one should mistreat you because you are of a different race. All people are different. They are of different races, speak different languages, and believe in different religions. No race is better than the other. We all deserve the same respect.
No one should mistreat you because you are a woman. Boys and girls, men and women, are equal and have the same capabilities. Don't allow anyone to ignore you and leave you behind, to prevent you from developing all your potential. Don't allow anyone to make you believe that women are inferior to men, because it is not true.
No one should mistreat you because you have a physical handicap. A handicap is not something terrible, and it isn't your fault to have one. That doesn't make you an abnormal child. Even children who are blind, deaf, mute, or with a serious disease, can learn if they are given love and care.
No one should mistreat you because you come from another place. Maybe you are a little different from other children because you have a different language or a different way of speaking, or because you have different likes, customs, and ideas. But being different is not a problem. We all have to learn to understand and respect what is different from what we are or have.
No one should mistreat you because you don’t learn quickly. Each child is different and each child learns in a different way. Some are good at some school subjects while others are good at others. If you don't learn fast, maybe there is nothing wrong with you, but with those who teach you and with how they teach you. No one can learn if they do not understand what is being taught, or if they don't find it interesting or useful, or if they are constantly threatened and punished. Don't allow anyone to call you dumb, ignorant, or stupid. If you don't understand something, ask. You have the right to ask questions and to demand that teachers explain things to you and teach you well. That is why there are schools. That is why there are teachers.
Dear children: school was created for children to be together, to play, to learn, and to be happy. Dear children: don't allow people to only remind you of your obligations. Stand up for your rights. Start learning to speak up for your rights now, as a child, so that you defend them even better when you grow up.
Sincerely Yours,
Rosa Maria Torres.
