AI guardrails

Privacy

Do not send raw child free text without consent
Use source excerpts and non-identifying progress state only
Asset is not registry-gated

Age safety

Apply kids audience controls before AI-help claims
Keep child learner AI paths behind guardian/product review evidence before readiness claims

Measurement

Log AI help usage by surface and asset slug
Evaluate answer quality against source-grounded rubric before production-readiness claims
Tie remediation prompts to completion, retry, or review outcomes

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Rights and Responsibilities

with Atlas

Atlas the friendly guide stands in a bright community park, dramatically flipping a large shiny gold coin to show its two sides — one labeled RIGHTS, one labeled RESPONSIBILITIES — while kids of many backgrounds play and share nearby.

Define what a right is using your own words
Define what a responsibility is using your own words
Match four common rights to the responsibilities that go with them
Explain why rights and responsibilities work together
Identify an example of respecting another person's rights

Key terms

right: Something every person is allowed to do.
responsibility: A job you should do for others.
free speech: The right to share your ideas.
equal treatment: Being treated the same as everyone.
respect: Treating other people kindly and fairly.

What a Right Is

A right is something you are allowed to have or do just because you are a person. Free speech lets you share your ideas. Equal treatment means people treat you the same as anyone else. Being safe at school means you can learn without harm. Using public spaces means you can enjoy places that belong to everyone. Rights belong to all people, both kids and grown-ups, every single day.

Two Sides of a Coin

Every right flips over to a responsibility, just like two sides of a coin. Free speech flips to using kind, honest words and letting others speak. Equal treatment flips to treating every person fairly. Being safe flips to following the safety rules. Using public spaces flips to taking turns and sharing. You can never keep just one side. Rights and responsibilities always travel together.

Worked examples

What responsibility comes with free speech?

Ask: how do I use words kindly?
I speak with honest, kind words.
I also let other people share their ideas.

Answer: Use kind words and let others speak.

You want to use a slide everyone shares. What should you do?

Ask: how do I respect others' space?
I wait for my turn in line.
I make room so others can play too.

Answer: Wait your turn and share the slide.

Hi, I'm Atlas! Today we're talking about rights and responsibilities — and I have a coin to show you! See this coin? One side says RIGHTS. Flip it over — the other side says RESPONSIBILITIES. You can never have just one side! A right is something you are allowed to have or do simply because you are a person. In the United States, rights apply to all people on U.S. soil, not just adults or citizens. Here are four rights we will practice today: • Free speech means you can share your ideas and opinions. • Equal treatment means people must treat you the same as anyone else, no matter what you look like or where you come from. (This comes from a part of the Constitution called the Equal Protection Clause.) • Being safe at school means you have the right to learn in a place free from harm. • Using public spaces — like this park — means you have the right to enjoy places that belong to everyone. Each right flips over to a responsibility. Free speech flips to: use kind, honest words and let others speak too. Equal treatment flips to: treat every person fairly. Being safe at school flips to: follow the safety rules that protect everyone. Using public spaces flips to: take turns, share, and respect others' space. When you respect other people's rights, you help build a community where everyone is treated well. If this feels tricky, just remember the coin: rights on one side, responsibilities on the other!

Activity

Drag each right on the left to the responsibility on the right that goes with it

Practice

Name one right and the responsibility that goes with it.

Tell how you can respect a friend's right to speak.

Common mistakes to avoid

Rights have no limits at all.Your rights stop where they would hurt another person's rights.
Only grown-ups have rights.Both children and adults have rights along with responsibilities to others.

Check your understanding

What is a 'right'?

Maya has the right to free speech. What responsibility comes with it?

Why do rights and responsibilities go together, like two sides of a coin?

Jaylen is playing in the park, which is a public space everyone can use. Which action shows he is respecting other people's rights?

Recap

A right is something you can do because you are a person. Each right comes with a responsibility, like two sides of a coin. When you respect others' rights, your whole community stays fair and kind.

Reflect

Which responsibility do you find easiest to keep each day?
