I plan to sue the school district because my sons teacher mentioned god in a lecture how much should I sue for

I can't believe people are still sneaking in **** about god in schools.  I'm tired of that too.  Why does everyone assume we are all pro god? I think you should sue for all you can.  That's illegal and the teacher is breaking the law!  See if you can google a lawyer that caters to that topic and she or he could give you some good advise.\n\nGood Luck,\nKelly

If it's a public school. go to the school district office.  If it's a religious school, inquire at the church

If you are in the United States, then you should have an IEP in place (if you are in middle or high school) under the Visual Impairment category. If the teachers are not providing you with the appropriate classroom and instructional modifications per your IEP, then you need to let your special ed caseworker know immediately. If nothing happens, have your parents start making noise about sueing. The IEP is a legally binding contract, and the teachers must abide by it.\n\nIf you are in college, in the United States, then the Americans with Disabilities Act Section 504 (ADA 504) covers your issue. Contact your college's Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). They should be advocating for you. If your OSD does not speak up for you, get a lawyer. Given the already existing infringement of your ADA 504 rights, I'm sure you can find someone who will work on percentage rather than flat fee...the college will have to pay up!\n\nWhy are you seated so far away from instruction in the ASL class? Assigned seating? If so, the teacher MUST move you to the front, by law.\n\nIf you don't live in the U.S., contact a lawyer/advocate quickly to find out what rights you have.

Probably the best thing you can do is contact a local elementary school with a PPCD unit. Talk to the teacher there, she/he should be able to give you more information. Or eve try the local school district offices, they should have all the info. Good Luck!

this is where people tell you that god works in mysterious ways. I wouldn't say that because it would piss me off if i were in your place. I'm sorry about your son. I don't know what to tell you about god, but I hope your son gets better.

There was prayer in school up til the 1970's.\n\nTelling someone when and where they can practice their religion is a violation of their Constitutional Rights.\n\nYou have a right to practice your own religion, you do NOT have the right never to be offended.\n\nOtherwise, I could sue you right now, you have OFFENDED ME by stating your beliefs, which I do not share.\n\nThink you should go to jail????\n\nNO??\n\nNeither should students that pray in school.

You can't sue him what is it with people wanting money for noting now days. Try calling the police with a disturbing the peace charge.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

As a parent advocating for her child you have many options. Oftentimes, school site administrators and teachers will make you think your options are limited to them but they're dead wrong. As a parent, you have a right to go before your districts superintendent, school board, local newspaper, rally other parents, the PTA, the Civil Rights Board, a personal lawyer, as well as a State Official at the County Office of Education or at the State Office of Education. Again as a parent, whose child represents between $4,000-$10,000 annually to the school in the form of ADA, and as a taxpayer, you have a plethora of options at your disposal. Remember, Always advocate for your child!

This should be documented and he can be moved to a sheltered classroom. Different states and Districts have different regulations. Start complaining and writing letters that is not a good learning environment for anyone.\n\nI am really surprised this has gone that far!

I think the real question is: "why are you preaching God in a public school?"\n\nYou could be offending any number of people. Public schools are there to accommodate all religions, races, creeds and social standings, not just Christians. Your Principal should be fired if she allows this just because she too is Christian. She would probably never allow a Muslim teacher to preach Islam, so why the double standard?

you definitely can and should threaten with legal action. If the school can't even keep track of a phone, they should be ready to pay for it. It's even worse because they actually took it from the students. If they don't pay for it, make sure you get a lawyer and sue so they both give you the money for a phone and whatever was stored on it and stop taking things from students.

First, I want to tell you that your son hitting the teacher is very wrong. I am myself a teacher and I have a students threaten me and insult me. It upsets me. I became a teacher with the desire to make a change in the life of the young people that I meet on a daily basis. \nThe teacher did not have direct physical contact with your son, therefore he didn't not touch him.  He probably tried to prevent him to get in trouble. Your son has rights under the IDEA act. There are organization in every state to help with special and legal problems. I wish you good luck. I will enclose a few links. \nSome schools will argue that a student that has ADD does not qualifies under IDEA but you can make a case that if he has a lot of anger, upset or emotional crisis he does. You need to search under IDEA and your state and advocacy. I feel that if a student hits a teacher or another student, there is definitely a cause for concern. I know that you love your son and that you want what is best for him. Don't blame the teacher because he already got hit, don't blame your son because he is filled with anger and that won't help. Search for a good therapist and work through the issues. It is not your fault, the fact that you are asking us this question means that you love him and that you care. \nGOOD LUCK!

You should get copies of liability insurance naming the church as additional insured, workmen's comp insurance, his license and a signed contract stating the price for the job...complete.  \nGood luck

I know exactly what I would do.  I would find out when the next school board meeting was first.  Then I would get me a good lawyer and go to that school board meeting.  When it is time for discussion from the floor, I would tell the Superintendent and the School Board exactly what has been going on and exactly what the principal and the teacher has said to you.  I would then tell them that they are allowing your child to be bullied and he is in an unsafe environment and that your lawyer is prepared to file a lawsuit (he will tell you what to say here) and that you are not going to allow your child to be treated this way because a cops child is the one doing the bullying.  I would also consider telling the cop and his spouse that you will be filing a suit against them as well. \n\nI really don't want you to go through with this unless they don't do anything to make the situation better.  Sometimes the threat of something like this is just what they need.  Imagine all the bad press they would get for allowing bullying to go on in their school system.....  I would push for the principal and the teacher to be disciplined also.  \n\nWe had an almost similar situation where the principal told the teachers not to tell anyone that there was a meningitis outbreak at the school.  Needless to say that principal retired after that.  My son was also getting his lunch money stolen everyday.  I tried for about 2 months to get him to stand up for himself but that is just not the kind of kid he his.  Finally, I wrote a letter to the teacher and told her what was going on and I also called the pricipal and told her.  The children (2) were caught red handed.  They were told they would have to repay the money.  The same day the money was repaid, one of the kids stole the money back.  I got a letter from one of the childrens mother saying that her son told them that mine was "giving" his money to him.  I know different because my son was extremely upset over the whole thing.  I didn't get mad over the money, I just wanted him to not be tortured anymore.  Just like you.  I would pay to just threaten them with a lawyer.  I'm sure you can find one that would do this for a very reasonable price.  Shop around.  I hope you can get this taken care of.  No one will take up for our children but us.  I wish you all the best.
