Schools Today:
Public schools across the country are burdened by endless laws, rules, and regulations that make it exceedingly difficult for schools to effectively educate America's children.
82% of teachers and 77% of principals say schools practice "defensive teaching"--meaning decisions are motivated by a desire to avoid legal challenges.
85% of teachers and principals think that eliminating legal challenges to day-to-day decisions would help improve the quality of education in their schools.
78% of teachers say that students are quick to remind them that they have rights or that their parents can sue.
