Democracy

In Social Studies we have begun to look at our rights and responsibilities as citizens of this school and of our city and country.  We learned that equity and equality are not the same thing.  Equality is treating everyone the same and Equity is giving people what they need to be successful.  We have also learned that democracy is built on four beliefs (or pillars): Equity, Justice, Freedom and Representation. 


We will be revisiting these concepts throughout the year in our studies.
