A friend of my mother is a schoolteacher, teaching kindergarten. She has 20 pupils, but one of them has ADD. This friend has brought up this issue with the child's mother and told her to get him assessed (at least!), but the mother kept insisting that her child was normal. She instead told the teacher to follow her child, which, with 20 students (and all at the age of 4-5!), is a bit unreasonable. She is virtually alone; an assistant comes once a week, but once at the most.
One day, the child got stuck in some sort of toy washing machine kept in the room (the teacher told her students specifically not to crawl into there),and getting out, he scraped his back (just a light scrape, like a slight scratch). The next thing that happens, the child's mother is suing the school board for negligence of her child.
I mean, the mother cannot actually say that the teacher didn't warn her, and yet for such a small scrape (not even a real injury), the mother sees fit to sue the school board for negligence.
Given current court cases, however, this sounds normal! Is this really going to be the norm in several years?
Opinions? (I apologize, too; I just needed to vent)
