Because there were no notes to be taken during the last two class meetings, this is my “extra” post.
My group was asked Tuesday if there are any cases regarding teachers suing students. The answer 2 days later is yes there are! Here are a few links to incidents where teachers sued students.

The video below is a case here in SC where the teacher won the lawsuit.
Students plan and video tape punching their elderly teacher.

First Amendment not so much with religion in schools
Student sues teacher
Notice 2 things. One is that Fox News likes to cover these sorts of stories;). Two is that because cell phones have cameras on them there is no telling what students are recording.
