[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 34605, member: 1991"] Michelle, you said, "they said that since the phone company (that fixed some wiring he pulled out) wouldn't take tanner's work in trade for their services, the school wouldn't either." That is appalling! You can't apply the same consequences to a child. I would be asking why the child was in a position to have access to the phone wires. If they knew that the child has a tendency to rage when pushed, then why did they not take precautions? WHo really is responsible here? Surely, some level of responsibility lies with the adults in the room? If it can be demonstrated that this is deliberate, malicious vandalism then there are avenues through which recompense to the school can be, and should be, pursued. If not - then it sounds to me like the school is at risk of being accused of dereliction of duty, failing to prevent a student from doing harm by allowing them too much access to information not related to teaching. Do they also charge the students for each stick of chalk the teacher uses up, writing on the blackboard to teach THEM? There is this thing called INSURANCE - all schools have to have it. Let the school's insurance company come after difficult child instead. Marg [/QUOTE]
