Can schools dictate how we spend our free time on school grounds if we’re following all school rules

Answered 5 years and 6 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
Yes they can.  You do not have the same basic human rights as a student in high school as you might as an adult in the world.

My college just billed me for a "forgotten" tuition charge that happened January of 2018. Can they legally put a hold on my student account for that?

Answered 6 years and 2 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
You need to come up with the 1800.  An attorney might try to make calls or send letters but the cost of their time will inevitably not be worth it for you.  Perhaps you can take a small bridge loan or borrow from family.  Otherwise, if you came to my office, I would charge for a consult and make some calls and see if we could get this straightened out.  Please feel free to reach out to us if you need further assistance.  Good luck. ...

What case of a teacher does not teach inside the classroom because he only do for chating or using a facebook?

Answered 6 years and 2 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
What is the problem? Are you unhappy with the school's practices? I don't believe you have a private right of action and I don't know what your claim would be. You need to offer more detail and explain how you feel wronged. If the teacher is goofing off, contact the school. If they take no action, contact the Board of Education. Good luck. ... Read More

Can i sue my son school for failing to meet after three years of dealing with behavioral problems

Answered 8 years and 3 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
It does not sound like you have any kind of specific claims agains the school. Has your son been diagnosed with any disabilities, learning or otherwise?  If they are not allowing for accomadations to any special needs your son has, there might be a case.  Have you considered having your son seek psychiatric counseling? From your question it sounds as if he has violent tendencies. I do not doubt that his grades are suffering, but from your question, it sounds as though your son is making poor life choices and decisions.  Have you requested a meeting with the school? Have you seen any of the administrators or the school counselor? Have you looked for any outside counseling? Has he always been like this or is this a recent development? Perhaps something in his life changed that triggered this bad behavior? I hope everything can work out for you and your family. Feel free to contact us if we can offer any further information or assistance. 203-870-6700... Read More
