Abstract
Salkin and Shenkel spent time in high school classrooms, giving students the opportunity to review, apply, and improve samples of language used by student handbooks to describe student speech right and responsibilities, as well as reflect on what they mean for them, as students. Their responses gave way to recurring themes: the idea that intention matters in the context of expression and that terms and concepts within handbook language should be as clear as possible in order to increase the chances of appropriate and harmless expression.
