Teachers

Original posting, September 2006

Teachers are not substitute disciplinarians for police.

It seems to be the switch that the police are involved in: 'disciplining' teachers for doing the police service job.

Parents take action against teachers and get it on legal aid, no doubt. If cost was borne by these people then it should make reckless court action less likely.

If the system is abused,

perhaps it should be removed

This is a general problem with legal aid. But it would mean less legal work through the courts and result in less income for the lawyers. So make it the taxpayers' problem and move the liability to the public purse to subsidise these legalised parasites.

The stench of vested interest
continues to rise even higher
