Classroom Democracy
I came across and intriguing article about a social studies teacher using democracy as part of the classroom environment. It wasn't her just teaching democracy she was enabling her class to use a democratic process in the classroom. Her student had made their own classroom bill of rights and students rights in the class. It is very interesting. The students are giving choice which is very important especially to teenagers.
