Whatever damages this kid and his dad sue the school for, the kid who got the stitches should then sue this punk and his dad for that same amount plus about a half-million extra for "pain and suffering, mental anguish, etc.", whatever their lawyer can dream up

Re your post #89 - I agree, but it's a shame that schools and the participants have to spend so much time on litigation. The Teacher Protection Act, and other laws, prohibiting parents from sueing at all unless there is something like sexual misconduct on the part of the teacher, should be enacted. You would not believe how many students have learned to say to a teacher: "My parents will sue you if you give me a detention."
