Thin skinned. You've gotta expect things like this when your smart-ass, spoiled, unappreciative children publically slander someone who is a valued, and appreciated part of society.
Don't concur. First when real disciplinary power was taken away from the schools, it forced things like this into the courts.
Second, it is because she is in a position of authority that she shouldn't tolerate this kind of crap. Teenagers must always learn that they can't commit unacceptable adult acts and get disciplined as children. Its a tough lesson every kid gets growing up, I had mine, but ignoring this would be irresponsible and dereliction of her duties to the school and these kids.
Yes this should be expected, but it should not be accepted. Kids will be kids no doubt, but it's up to parents to teach them what is acceptable and what is not. Retailiating against discipline is NOT acceptable. Since teachers can't spank, can't stand them in corners, etc. etc. what other recourse do they have then to take them to court. I've always believed if parents had to start "paying" for under age childrens bad behavior they would be more apt to make the little darlings behave.

Wrong. I hope the lawsuit bankrupts the lousy kids's parents.
