L is for Lawsuit

Janelle Brown, Salon, Jul 13, 2002

Teachers have always been subject to external pressures:CRLFthe concerns expressed over content from the PTA, the directives describing curricula from the schol board and politicians, and the ministrations by parents on behalf of their children's grades. Add to this mix another source of distration: the threat of lawsuits. This article describes the legal actions of vexed parents who, despite their children's non-compliance with the teachers' directives, nonetheless hold the teacher accountable for their children's failure. I would suggest that this is a trend that could only increase with the advent and diffusion of private education.
