If she was really so cheesed of she should be campaining for a change in the law, not persuing the school in court for doing what was legally correct, and what the girl requested.
And the father of the baby was 13!!!!!!!!!
At the risk of sounding callous, I think the girl made the best decision.  |
I agree totally OB.
Regarding suing the school. I don't agree the mum should sue the school. Partly because they have limited funds, so if they pay any money out to her then the other children will indirectly suffer (less money for books and so on) and partly because, we, as a society seem to be following the American model of society (automatically sue somebody if they do wrong).
What I mean by this is illustrated by something I read in a book. Basically the gist of it was that if something goes wrong in America, the Americans look for someone to blame (sue). If something goes wrong in Japan, the Japanese look to find out what went wrong, and look for a way to prevent it happening again. I happen to think the latter is the better example to follow.
