Anger Management teacher has anger issues? Why on Earth would a teacher wrestle with a student. It's stupid. You are asking for a lawsuit, and you'll get one for the slightest injury, not that a broken finger is slight. |

Yep, school personnel have a responsibility to report suspected child abuse. To the best of my knowledge, such is the law in every jurisdiction. However, such suspicions should only be reported if a reasonable person would suspect the abuse. It is unreasonable to suspect abuse based on the word of a psychic. Both the teaching assistant who made a report to the school officials and the school officials who forwarded the report to the Children's Aid Society should be disciplined. If they have gone overboard in unreasonably reporting abuse before, firing should be a considered option. Furthermore, if CAS was aware of the psychic source for the report, whoever was responsible for bothering this family in the slightest should be disciplined. Incidents like this illustrate one more reason why government is the worst possible conductor of education! Many teachers (and assistants) become power-mad petty bureaucrats. I hope this mom wins her suit and is compensated completely for all costs to send her autistic daughter to the private school of her choice. Canadian Press Article |
