New Inquiry: Whose voice is heard? What does is it mean to be fair?

In our school we are looking at a new inquiry question, which is: Whose voice is heard, and what does it mean to be fair?  Our last question was: Do societies need empathy?

Some of our thinking so far:

• teachers and parents are heard
• children's voices are heard when talking in a group of other children
• I think it has to do with power
• depends on where you are
• fairness is when everyone is treated equally
• equity
• fairness is that no one is treated better than others
• it's not fair that some voices are not heard that need to be heard
