them stand, and yet you say it is not systemic? How odd. Apparently there has been no clear directive from the administration regarding this. Therefore, it is a systemic problem.

That's exactly why I would go to the principal. It's not my business to figure out who's doing what. It would be my business to stop the practice, schoolwide, if I objected to it. I would go to the principal, state my objection to the practice, then supply all the legal information needed to make sure he understood that if the practice were not ended, he would lose the legal case I would bring, at some cost to the school.

What good would it do me to make the law clear to you, if the child would be subjected to the same thing the next year with a new teacher. Phooey. Fix it once, and be done with it.
