A lot more than shirts not tucked in going on there..  This is a kid with serious behavior problems.  How very very dishonest to try and smear the school with lies![/quote]

So what? FERPA applies regardless.[/quote]

SO WHAT???   Lies are lies.  And in this case they are some pretty huge lies.  Do you realize that if this student were an adult, these would be multiple felony assaults?  That's very different than "shirt not tucked in" or "she wouldn't keep her hands in her lap" - the LIES that this article is based on.

Confidentiality doesn't apply to anyone else who also discussed the student, including the journalists involved in the article?  You are fine with one side out there spilling confidential information in a major news outlet, presuming to tell a story but you have a problem with the other side correcting the record?

What I am fine with is people obeying the law. Families talking about their own situations: not breaking the law. Schools talking about their students: breaking the law.[/quote]

Students assaulting others:  breaking the law  
How come you don't have a problem with that part?[/quote]

Of course it is a problem when students assault others. How is that relevant to a school administrator's violation of FERPA?[/quote]

Pretty sure assault is a felony in most jurisdictions.  That's pretty serious, and I'd argue more serious than FERPA.

And don't you think it's a problem for the media and others involved outside of the school to cover up and lie about the assaults?[/quote]
