Are permanent markers not allowed in all schools?

We have them in my school. The kids are amazingly responsible...but it's an overseas international school (with kids from over 40 different countries). The rules are totally different over here.

It's preferable to the school district because it's confidential and they can tell you to fuck off and because it's confidential no one will know and it won't become part of the record.  \n\nIt's unfortunate, but go to "Protection and Advocacy" site and request the book they have entitled "Special Education Rights and Responsibilities".  You will be well armed and more able to protect your child.

If you have a teacher supply store in your area they frequently have writing sheets for kids to trace and stuff.  If it's remotely legible or if the teacher hasn't commented on it, don't worry too much.  Third grade is still fairly little and it will improve with time.  Or maybe he just has ambitions to be a doctor (just kidding).

of course...why wouldn't you be allowed to?  if it's because they think you can hide a weapon or drugs couldn't you just put it in your backpack?  so i don't really see the other side of the argument.  why would they want sts carrying a load of stuff around them to each class?  teachers are always complaining how they can't walk up and down the aisles because they trip on backpacks - so if they get rid of your lockers aren't you just going to have more crap in the aisles?  and also if you can't have a locker then you would have to lug your books home every night whether you need them or not.  and then there is a higher chance of you forgetting it or ruining it.  so the solution of that would be to have an in class text book and an out of class text book whick would just cost the school more money.  so i guess what i'm saying is i don't really see any positives to not having a locker.

I am surprised that your school don't have a policy forbidding PDA-public display of affection. Most schools have gone to this policy. Other than that don't worry about needing to do what others do. If a friend jumped off a bridge, would you follow??

I can't think of a single reason they shouldn't be allowed. It's a public place, and cameras are freely allowed in public places. Further, there is a reasonable expectation that the school would be able to prevent crimes lke vandalism, etc.

Most schools will allow or not say anything for the use of the local school after hours or when not in use.\n   However, the best thing is the direct approach. Go to the school principal and ask him/her.\n     If there are any requirement against it they will let you know. If not they will give their ok with what ever restrictions they may have.\n     That way you will not have to worry about breaking any rules or laws and getting kicked off.

Yes, it is the same as huffing paint or permanent markers, which is why you have to be 18 to buy it.

this is very common in a lot of schools, the only real way to stop this is home school or else a lawsuit. Also, you can talk to the news about this.You just have to get the word out.

As a public school teacher, I am always running short on supplies.  So, personally, I enjoy like whiteboard markers, a new stapler, maybe a new pencil sharpener.  These are all useful gifts and help us from having to spend our own money on things that are going to be used in the classroom.

Most schools have maps in the main office or will let you walk through it in a tour at sometime during the summer.  Try to obtain a map or find out from someone who went there where it is.

No, it is not legally binding, since, as you state, it is not signed. That is an essential element to most legally binding contracts. I would seek, rather than legal recourse, help from the school's administration. If you believe the teacher has ungraded fairly and using an arbitrary, ad-hoc system, speak to the dean of faculty and/or students and any other office on campus that regulates teaching.

This is really going to be very dependent on the specific language in your community's ordinances.  You actually highlighted the important part at the start of your question (future lawyer?), where you pointed out that the chalk doesn't permanently mark surfaces.  In some places, only permanent defacement is against the law.  In lots of others, though, any defacement of property is against the law, even if it does clean up very easily.  Free speech defenses don't do you much good, because the laws are generally against any defacement, not just against some viewpoint expressed in defacement.  You might consider calling your community's police department (on their non-emergency number) to ask for the policy in your town.

yes you can.  Don't worry, your students will not be erased b/c you went to canada.

As long as no tournament business is conducted on school grounds, no. The school's authority stops when you leave their doors. As long as you maintain it at home, the school has no recourse of your actions, that's your parent's jobs.

It depends what board you are doing. Most boards have a website where both past papers and marking schemes are available on request.
