The courts have always been quick to point out that a kid's constitutional rights don't stop at the school door and parents have been equally quick to engage the judicial system when they feel their child has been misaligned by the system. So why should we think that teachers would not expect the same protection? When the kid leaves the school building and throws a punch or kicks a citizen at the store, you can forget about any sort of IEP exemption or for the courts to develop a BIP for the kid - they are going to be charged with an assault. So why do we think schools or the people who work in them have any lower status or right to the same protections?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
