"One of the many rights we use every day is the right for public education. Whether you love it or hate it, you probably go to school. It's different for everyone, it can be a public or private school or even homeschooling. However, some people don't have the right to go to school.

Some ways that we can be responsible and take advantage of our public education is by trying our best to keep our grades up, and keeping school a kind and positive environment. Since many kids do not have the right to a public education around the world, we shouldn't abuse the right, but we should try our best in school."
