3.0 out of 5 stars
too much ground covered,
This review is from: Legal Rights of Teachers and Students (Paperback)
This book is prevented from being a practical guide by covering too much ground in one volume. A better approach would have been to divide the content into two volumes - one for teachers only. While it is a good thing to review case law, I would have found it more helpful if it had included steps for remedy.
5.0 out of 5 stars
