Should a school be sued if there has been sexual harassment which led to:?

The school should definitely be held accountable for not intervening and stopping the harassment.  They are responsible for investigating claims, such as the girls, and acting on the proper disciplinary methods to prevent it from happening again. I do hope that her parents moved her to another school. A school is supposed to be a learning (educational) environment free of harassment of any kind. We all know that it does happen. However, if she reported the incidents and pleaded for help then, the school should be sued over it. I would get a copy of the schools code of conduct as grounds and  more than likely her parents would have to file the suit, (assuming she is a minor).

Mr Chris: you should start keeping a log of all your activities, report all your incidences to school officials, they are there to create a safe environment for you. If at any time you do not feel safe report it to your principal or counselor. If you need to sue the school district because they failed to protect you, your log you kept will help you in the court of law!!!\n\nPS. your log is like a diary!

Even if it is a private pool, it must be kept up proper standards so it is safe for all to use.   If it is not up to code, if anything goes wrong, you will find the school being sued.   And if you had an accident at a school swimming pool, contact a solicitor and find out where you stand!

You need to talk to the authorities at your school.  "spying" and "being picked on" are not criminal offenses.  This is kids being kids and it needs to be handled by the school.

That sounds more like a privacy issue and may be governed more by school privacy rules than laws.  Unless the damages are significant, a lawyer may not take the case because they only get about one third of whatever you collect.  Also you may have to prove malicious intent, especially if others already had the information.  How did the teacher learn of the health problem?  Good luck.

Nothing. You can not sue them it really wasn't discrimination. You were either over qualified or under qualified..It happens.

Not if it happened outside the workplace and after working hours.  As far as I know, sexual harrassment only occurs when the person receiving the comment, approach, or inappropriate personal contact perceives it as insulting, demeaning, or threatening.  Many people bend the sexual harrassment rules in the workplace by hitting on or accepting remarks from their co-workers.  I think that policies against sexual harrassment exist only for the workplace environment (whichever this environment may be).  But I believe that a person can get in trouble with the cops if he or she is accused of bothering another person in a sexual way.

Teachers have a union and I expect they would be glad to help him.  I think it would be highly unfair to punish a teacher for defending himself (would they punish a female teacher who was being sexually assaulted on school property by a student if she fought back).  Of course schools are political so who knows what someone might do.\n\nIt is too bad the student was not disciplined.  I am not in favor of out of school suspensions except in extremely henious situations, but this would have been a perfect time to make his punishment to help out that teacher every day for a period of time at school.  Just the kind of thing that can change a students whole life around.\n\nPlease let us know somehow what happens.  I will keep you all in my prayers.

Hi, It might be offensive language, but I don't think it can be considered sexual harassment.  It is the same as saying a cuss word.  Why is everyone so quick to sue someone?  If you sue, you will NEVER be able to get a job, because it will be public knowledge and no one will hire someone who is in litigation or has won a judgment with a previous employer for fear you will do the same with them.

the school board makes up the rules which are different in each district. \nBTW, if you're being harassed by your history teacher, report it to the police immediately. That's what i did, and I got 20 grand in lawsuit\n\ngood luck

Regardless of whether it's rape or consentual, a teacher should have better moral fiber than to sleep around with his/her students. The teacher should be dismissed and not allowed to teach. There are too many problems that can be encountered, accusations of bias, "free" grades, etc. In the case of rape, the teacher should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He/she is in a position of authority.

Not unless you want to eventually get wrapped up in a statutory rape lawsuit if ya'll are found out, plus the teacher will be fired and go to jail. Did we learn nothing from Mary Kay LeTourneau? If you didn't, see this story: However, I guess if you're over 18 the worst thing that could happen is the teacher could lose her job.

You need to tell a school official.  This behavior is unacceptable.  The school has a responsibility to curb this and protect you.  If the school does nothing the next time this happens, call the police and press charges.  The school will have liability as well and you may be able to sue them for doing nothing.  Good luck.

Report her for sexual harrassment or set her up. "She molested me." You could make a petition or talk to the school board. BOycott the school. Don't forget to get a permit.
