So we are defining the bet as winning a civil suit, not the firing of the teacher?

well the bet is fine in theory, but it presupposes that suit is filed in the first place. lots of things have to happen for this to see fruition.

That's how HG defined it originally in post #68 - I didn't set the terms, he did. But it's a sucker's bet - the parents and the students have virtually no chance of winning a civil suit if one is brought.

Like I said before, I still don't think it was a good idea for the school officials to do this, but it was almost certainly legal for them to do so. And the parents will find out as much if and when they try to file suit.
