Answer
Not sure if it applies to all schools .. but I took this from a schools website.

Rights at School

You have the right to attend school until you graduate from high school, receive a GED, or turn 21. If you are under 16, you must attend school through the end of the year in which you turn 16 (e.g., If you turn 16 in July, you must attend school through the end of the following June). You have the right to a free, appropriate public education. You have the right to know the rules of the school or educational facility that you attend in advance of being held accountable to those rules.

Any personal property you bring on to school grounds is considered school property for the time it is on school grounds. It is therefore subject to search by school authorities or the police without a warrant. This includes not only bags, backpacks, and locker contents but also personal vehicles and their contents.

Counseling is available at school to any student who needs it. You may speak either to your guidance office, the school social worker, or the school psychologist.

Homeless students are not just young people who live on the streets or in shelters; they are also those who have no âfixed regular nighttime residence,â which includes couch-surfing students and, sometimes, students dealing with shifting parental custody arrangements. If you are homeless or you are living in a youth shelter or transitional program, you have the right to attend the school where you last enrolled (as long as it is within a reasonable distance) or the school in the area where you are temporarily living, even if you are moving from place to place. (This applies even if you are moving from one parentâs house to anotherâs and even if you are moving to the home of the parent who is technically the non-custodial parent.) The new school must enroll you immediately; you do not need any documents or school records. If the school does not believe you are entitled to be enrolled, you must be provided with a written statement of ineligibility. They must give you the opportunity to appeal their decision and must allow you to stay in school while the State Education Department reviews your appeal. There is a person with the title of âhomeless liaisonâ in every school district that can help you with this process.

You also have the right to safety at schoolâthe right to be free from harassment or bullying. Schools are required by law to provide a safe learning environment in which all students can participate freely and equally. Intimidation, bullying, and sexual harassment make schools a hostile environment, and school staff must respond to student complaints.

Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual attention. It can be directed at girls or boys. It can be physical, verbal, or even non-verbal communication. Students are also protected from harassment due to sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation. The most important aspect of harassment is how the gestures make you feel. âGoodâ sexual attention makes you feel happy, excited, proud, maybe even nervous in a good way. Itâs like flirting. On the other hand, sexual harassment leaves you feeling scared, anxious, ashamed, and unhappy. If you have asked someone to stop doing the things that bother you, and he or she continues, you can ask for help from a school counselor, teacher, or administrator. The sexual harassment policy in most student handbooks explains what the school must do to help.

You have the right to comprehensive guidance about your future from your school guidance office, which arranges counseling on course selection, career interest exploration, and college matters.

Students with disabilities are covered under Parts 200 and 201 of the Regulations of the New York State Commissioner of Education. All students, including those with disabilities, have the right to a âfree, appropriate public education.â If a student feels that he or she has a disability requiring that he or she be given a special education designation, a referral letter must be hand-delivered to the committee on special education chairperson in the studentâs school district. (The letter may be written by a parent or by a doctor or other professional.) The district must conduct evaluations and meet with the studentâs parents or guardians within 60 school days of the delivery of the letter. The studentâs parents or guardians must sign their consent to these evaluations. Students with special education designations have the right to attend regular classes based on their ability.

Oh and what method of transportation would be best cause i dont want to be paying too much for airplanes



Answer
First off I'd recommend going to a library/bookstore and looking through some Europe travel guides to get a sense of what you might want to do.

Some general recommendations:

Start off by flying into London--it's a fascinating city with lots to do, they speak English obviously so it's a good first destination if you haven't traveled abroad before, and it's a major transportation hub, so it's easy to find flights. I would spend at least five days, then take a train to Paris and spend another five days there. Thereafter...it pretty much depends on what you're into. Personally I really enjoy Italy--it has a great mix of culture and scenic beauty. In addition to the cities you list, make sure to visit Naples/Pompeii/the Amalfi Coast. The Cinque Terre and the South of France are also really, really pleasant, as is Barcelona, which has a lot of really interesting architecture (I haven't been to Madrid or Lisbon). The Interlaken region of Switzerland also has spectacular alpine scenery. I'd also give thumbs up to Amsterdam and Berlin as cool places to visit. Also I've never been but my parents really loved Norway.

I will say that I did go to Greece, but found that getting there (via an overnight ferry from Italy) and getting around on a Eurrail pass was maybe more of a hassle than it was worth. Brussels also generally doesn't get great reviews, but nearby Bruges is interesting.

Look into getting a Eurrail pass, but don't automatically buy it--they're expensive, and come with restrictions, so in some cases they aren't worth the hassle. In general trains are preferable for short or medium trips, though for covering long distances you might want to look into airline flights. Also be wary of Ryanair and Easyjet--they advertise cheap prices but charge a fortune for luggage and fly to airports in the middle of nowhere that are a pain/expensive to get to/from.

In general I'd also advise against trying to see all of Europe in one vacation--you'll exhaust yourself and spend way too much time on trains. I can tell you that on a three week backpacking trip around Europe I had exhausted myself by the end and didn't enjoy Amsterdam or Bruges as much as I should have. More time in relatively fewer locations is likely to be more relaxing and maybe more rewarding as well.

Also check out hostelworld.com and/or hostelbookers.com--you can use these sites to book rooms in youth hostels pretty much anywhere. Hostels can save you a ton of money if you're going solo, and are a good way to meet other people.

Hope some of that helps!
