The school districts attorney said: "I find it incredible that anyone would put this kind of litany of student problems in a court case,"

Translate that: "I'm worried about defending the school's inaction in view of all this documentation".

I believe the teacher, however I have problems with her "pain and suffering" lawsuit. We all have difficulties we have to deal with. This unfortunate occurrance only lasted a finite period of time for this teacher. More fodder for the civil suit trial lawyers. Gimme a break!

One cure for all the difficulties these lawsuites are creating
would be to charge the losing party to pay for all the
costs of the case.

If the teachers case is dismissed as frivolous then she and the lawyer
that takes the case should be made to pay.

My mother was a fifth grade teacher and taught at a school for two years in which the average age of the student was 13 and she had two 16 year olds. The second year she literally could not turn her back on the class for her safety.

One of the students sister was in jail for stabbing a teacher the year before, there were no doors on the bathrooms, there was no play equipment on the play ground because of the "little darlings" propensity to make weapons out of them, when school was dismissed the cops had to supervise, etc...

Needless to say the stress didn't help her blood pressure, heart condition or mental state. She was on some heavy duty meds to make it through the second year that she was contractually obligated to fulfill. She was finally able to get off the stress meds after moving to the country and teaching in a school where there was discipline, God and no juvenile delinquents. It did affect her long term health, she died at 56 of a heart attack.
