  Case: The parents of the injured student sued the teacher.
One particular fourth grade teacher is a favorite of the school's students and their parents because she is actively involved with the students during the school day. While on recess duty, this particular teacher always makes it a point to participate with the children in the games that they play. During a kickball game at a 15 minute recess, while the teacher was rolling the ball to the batter, a fight broke out between two students who were not playing the game. One of these student suffered injuries. The parents of the injured student sued the teacher and the school for negligence. They content that the teacher was not properly supervising the children's activities during recess. Do you agree or disagree with the parent's view?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel like the parents make a good point that the teacher really should make it a point to keep an eye on every child that they have in class. That being said you have about 17 students in your presence at any time, making sure all 17 or more of them are doing what they are supposed to is hard. This teacher may want to rethink playing with the other students, or making all of the students play too that way they can watch them all carefully.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. I agree that it a good idea to refrain from being part of the game because you are distracted from the overall picture of what all of your students are up to.
