Student’s Bill of Rights by Schank1. Testing : No student should have to take a multiple-
choice or fill-in-the blank test. 2. Real-Life Skill: No student should have to learn
something that fails to relate to a skill that is unlikely to be required in life after school.
3. Memorization: No student should be required to memorize any information that is likely to be forgotten in 6 months.
4. Goal clarity: No student should be required to take a course, the result of which are not directly related to a goal held by the student, nor to engage in an activity without knowing what he can expect to gain from that activity.
20 March 04 Sanjay Goel, JIIT, 2004 13
5. Passivity: No student should be required to spend time passively watching or listening to anything unless there is a longer period of time devoted to allowing the student to participate in a corresponding active activity.
6. Arbitrary Standards: No student should be required to prepare his work in ways that are arbitrary or to jump through arbitrary hoops defined only by a particular teacher and not by the society at large.
7. Mastery: No student should be required to study something that he has already mastered.
Student’s Bill of Rights by Schank
20 March 04 Sanjay Goel, JIIT, 2004 14
8. Discovery: No student should be asked to learn anything unless there is a possibility of his being able to experiment in school with what has been learned.
9. Defined curriculum: No student should be barred from engaging in activities that interest him within the framework of school because of breadth requirements imposed by the curriculum.
10.Freedom of thought: No student should be placed in a position of having to air his views on a subject if the opposing point of view is not presented and equally represented.
