Kid Gets Punched By Fellow Student After Kid Punches Female Teacher

Well actually it does. My GF is a school vice principal. In her county, parents can threaten to sue all they want, but the first step is school board arbitration. The district has legal counsel on retainer and the parents have to sit before the arbitrators before any other legal proceedings can be held against the school, the school board, or teachers.

Half of the time, parents don't show. When they do, school policy is usually upheld and that ruling is normally enough for a real judge to not hear any further legal proceedings.

Anything that involves blatant, employee, misconduct is different though. For example, a teacher being sexually active with a student, would leave the teacher on their own as far as defense.

But I do agree that it's bullshit, but do you really want more taxpayer money wasted on frivolous legal proceedings. My GF wasted an entire week before standardized testing, by sitting in arbitrations. Time better spent helping teachers prepare for (admittedly different levels of bullshit).
