when it bcame obvious that the principal was not going to fulfill his responsibility to protect my child while he was entrusted to his care at school, I did file charges against the student in the juvenile court. And I filed charges against the principal with the state board of education. He was removed from the elementary school, and returned to the high school as a classroom teacher. The child was placed on house arrest for 30 days, and a year of supervised probation. Personally, I think the parents of this child shouldhave received the punishment, because the kid was basically unsupervised and unparented. Shortly thereafter, I had my son transferred to a deaf school where I did not have to deal with educators such as this. Unfortunately, this attitude is all to prevalent in mainstream.
