Has anyone thought about the possibilites of a school/teacher being held responsible for the injury of a student outside of the school?
For instance, does it have to be expressly written that there are no guarantees that what you are learning will actually work?
I just figure that since we live in the days of lawyers, sooner or later someone is going to sue(sp) becuase what they learned didn't work.
At the risk of sounding Orwellian, does anyone think that some day schools will be outlawed, or some sort of government standard will have to be met before what you teach can be considered "safe" for the public?
The seasoned practitioners among us will know that there are good schools and bad. But to someone first starting, what is in place to protect them from the wrong decision?
Will all schools have to go under the guise of an "Art" (most do - so maybe that's their saving grace) or will there someday be an official stamp of approval.
There are some schools/individuals who train law enforcment. There are others that the police wouldn't go near with a 10 foot pole. What does that really say?
TIA
