Moral: You don't have to take the abuse of an out of control teacher.

I actually helped my aunt take care of the problem with my cousin's school when they tried to make him keep his inhaler in the nurse's office. My fiancee is a labor/employment lawyer. She lobbed a little phone call to the principal and mentioned four little words- Americans With Disabilities Act. They freaked out and stopped bugging him about it.

ADA has the same effect on any poor, dumb, soul working in the Bowels of the Beast (any bureaucracy). Because of the inherent conflicts betweeen their socialism, the contradictory regs characteristic of bureaucracies, and human nature, there is nearly always something that the 'crat either didn't do and was supposed to, or did do and wasn't allowed to so do.

In any case, find the appropriate reg and your problem 'crat is meat on the table. Nothing like the smell of Fired 'Crat in the morning (with apologies to Coppola).
