In the many years that I have worked with teachers, I found that teachers were constantly in fear of being "burned" by their administration. Indeed, how many of you have had an administrator or others bully you with legal or procedural threats? How many of you have felt frozen or paralyzed to act against a student, employee or administrator? How many of you have felt stressed for not acting due to this fear? Finally, how many of you have feared retaliation for standing up for your rights? If you have experienced any of these situations, this book is for you. I have good news and bad news. Bad news first, the legal aspects of your teaching career will not go away. Unavoidably, with each passing day your fears of being bullied and retaliated against in your every day interaction with administration, students, and parents will focus more and more on school law issues. This reality is not unique; turn on the television or read the newspaper, and you'll see that all employees must deal with this reality at one time or another. The good news is that this book will enable you to understand and acquire knowledge of your rights as they relate to your interactions with administration, students, and parents. Just imagine not having to worry about or fear your administration. I would say, to those teachers who would read this book - behold, you are now entering a new world, a legal world, and with the knowledge acquired herein, you will become more confident and secure in your interactions with administrators, students, and parents.
