Re: Public Education

Hello. I just received your posting. It is best that a teacher get security to remove a student now.

There has been a shift in the law and now teachers can be sued for almost anything. The level of force a teacher can use is only an issue, in my opinion, when danger to the teacher or to another student is possible on account of the disruptive
