Student vs. teacher lawsuits have been around for as long as the blackboard. But recently they’ve been on the increase, only no one noticed until now because math scores are down.
According to The National Post, there a slew of Canadian lawsuits in which parents claims teachers are ruining their self-esteem.
One father claims his son’s second grade teacher “purposely and maliciously worked to damage the self-esteem.” Well yeah, she’s a teacher. They have to take a course on damaging self-esteem in college.
Another suit claims a private school teacher intended to inflict emotional distress on another student. Isn’t that why parents pay the extra cash to send their kids to a private school?

I hate lawsuits that parents start. and vise versa. I think lawsuits are the most annoying way for someone to get back at someone they dislike. Jack Thompson had a lawsuit against a woman that turned him down on a date. She touched his shoulder and he said it was assault and battery. People need to stop acting so childish when they don’t get their way.

When I wsa a second-grader, I knew what self-esteem ws, and how to spell it. I agree, however, that parents on the warpath are extremely aggravating, unless the child asks for their help…and then it shouldn’t be a lawsuit.

And to know that these are the very children that will have the future in their hands. Im a mother of three, one relationship. I say that the parents really need to get a grip on reality. Our children Learn by EXAMPLE.

Lawsuits are stupid, and so are people who don’t know how to spell.

When I was a child I attended a catholic grade school. In third grade a friend of mine and I were late going back to class after a recess break. Well, Sister Mary…..I’ll just refer to her as Sister Mary Elephant, grabbed both Pat Z. and I by the back of the neck and proceeded to bang…Did I say bang…proceeded to bash our heads together and yelling that we were not to be late ever again…. Granted this was quite awhile ago (giving away my age) but we were never late again. Lawsuit…never…If I would’ve told my dad…well lets put it this way I got off easy with the nun. Have a great day!!
