Re your post #89 - I agree, but it's a shame that schools and the participants have to spend so much time on litigation. The Teacher Protection Act, and other laws, prohibiting parents from sueing at all unless there is something like sexual misconduct on the part of the teacher, should be enacted. You would not believe how many students have learned to say to a teacher: "My parents will sue you if you give me a detention."

You're right. I was venting a little bit there. I am not really in favor of frivolous lawsuits or the like. The courts are already too bogged down. I just think that sometimes it seems like the only thing that the libs and such understand is when you turn their own tactics back on them. It's amazing how quick they are to cry "foul!" and back down when you do. In some ways it provides a little amusement and a certain degree of satisfaction. Too bad this is such a rampant problem. I am fully aware of how young the kids are when they learn those magic words "my parents will sue you", or even worse, the ones they use against their own parents, "I'm calling social services".

Yet another reason I'm thankful we homeschool.
