The articles that covers Education are Article 8 sec 2 and 9, Article 10 section 8, as

well as in the Taxation of estates taxed by the United States; limitations section4, as well

as all of Article 11. Knowing this information might be useful as a practicing educator so

students must be given the same education, just because someone has a disability does

not mean that anyone should treat them any different. As well as how the school is

funded, by taxes. Also, teachers have an oath as well, Section 5 is the establishment of

normal schools and grades of schools; oath of teachers and professors. Teachers and
