Good book for uneducated teachers with regards to law March 20, 2001
9 out of 12 found this review helpful

With all the horror stories we hear about teachers being fired and sued over decesions they made about punishment and what to teach and how to teach, this book is a gold mine. It provides information on just about any topic a teach may encounter. Not only does it have great information, it is also written with few "legal trade" words.
