| Law of
Student Misconduct: Role of Police, Duty of Schools |
| |
Legal discrimination among students: regular
ed, special ed and 504 basics. School administrators are trained to
“legally discriminate” among their students to ensure
that appropriate teacher skills are applied to individual student
needs. Common-sense way to interpret law: approach legal discrimination
without fear. Parents and privacy: when to meet their demands and
when to intervene against their wishes.
