1/ The N.E.A. is harmful to education and to society in general.
2/ Individual teachers are not harmful, unless they individually harm individuals.
3/ Laws and policies should be changed whereas school systems should assume 100% of the liability for what is done by teachers under their hire on school property during the school day.
4/ Kids are resiliant. There should be a $1000 limit to lawsuit awards of non-physical in-school harm to students.
5/ I like Chuck Jackson.
