[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say a private school teacher has a student who they believe is a danger to themselves or others.  And say their admin disagrees and is keeping the student at the school anyway.  What happens if that student hurts another kid and the hurt kid's parents sue the school or the teacher?  Does the teacher have any protection in this situation?

In public school, the teacher would have access to the wide and deep resources of the union legal team.  But I'm new to private school and I'm worried about being sued if this child eventually hurts another kid.  Realistically, he's most likely to hurt me or other staff as that is where he directs his anger.  (and realistically, if he does hurt me, I will sue the crap out of the school because imo, they are being totally negligent)  But I also want to figure out if I could be sued by anyone else he hurts.

Most private schools don’t tolerate violent children - where do you work?[/quote]

Completely not true. 1000% not true.

Privates take the money period.

We can start with the obvious Landon. When a school protects DV which is what they did with Hugley case there is no way that kid wasn't "violent" at Landon.
