Lately a booklet about children’s rights was distributed in some schools. As soon as I saw the publication I was taken aback since when I was a student myself, I was always taught that rights and duties went together. Would it not have been better if the book contained not only a list of rights but also a list of duties pertaining to children? I believe it would have made more sense and it would also avoid the possibility of laying too much emphasis on a one-sided reality.
