Central(another "e"?) we were never allowed to use those new fangled cellular telephones for the reasons that master Scott has formerly aforementioned. Hitherto and forward (and yon?), the reason I persisted in maintaining the company of my own cellular telephone was because of the most tragic events that unfolded on April the twentieth, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred ninety and nine. in Littleton, Colorado... ok so sue me--I wanted to be long winded...

School boards will most likely always defend the teachers; otherwise, it exposes the school corporation to liability. School boards are hardly unbiased arbitors of justice. This does not seem like a fair way of assessing whether or not a teacher acted appropriately. I'm tired of reading and seeing news accounts of teachers molesting students or abusing them verbally and physically. That's why schools ban cell phones, because the cameras have caught too many teachers acting inappropriately. Sometimes teachers do behave inappropriately and they should be held accountable for their actions. Who will be protecting the interests of students? This is not an example of good government!

Does that make it cheaper? Bill Starr Columbus, Indiana Wed, 27 Aug 2008, 6:07 pm EDT So I guess that means the legal fees to defend the school come out of our state taxes instead of the local taxes?
