[Jb310usa]

My daughter was terminated from a class,without any warning from her teacher.She also is only 17. What type of lawyer do I need?

1: US law only
2: Why do you think that any sort of notice is required?
3: Why do you think that you (or she) needs a lawyer?

In the student discipline handbook the school is supposed to give a verbal or written warning non was gave. Teacher has not followed any procedure in the handbook. And she is a minor we were not informed about the termination.

Let's start with the first one: US Law Only. (What US state are you in?)

What did your daughter do, exactly?

Was it something that might be considered so severe that prior disciplinary steps are not required?

California...teacher didn't like her asking too many questions

 

[Zigner]

I don't see that you have any case to force the teacher to accept her back in to the class.

Is this a public or private school? What class was it?

I really doubt that was all there was to it.

Perhaps you should talk to the teacher before jumping straight to a lawsuit.

You do not need a lawyer at this point, you need a meeting with the principal and the teacher.

I can see this happening. If the class was an advanced class and the student was not prepared (Trigonometry comes to mind, but many more would fit the bill), the teacher cannot spend the majority of the class time answering the questions of just one student, particularly if it is remedial information. I know I am supposing here, but I am just seeing it from the teacher's point of view.

From a parent's perspective: would you really want your child back in a class where the teacher had to be forced to take your child? Neither one of them would relate to the other in a positive, meaningful way after that.

Was your child put in a similar class or one that suited her needs better?

Again, meeting with the teacher and principal (or perhaps the appropriate dean and the teacher). That is the way to get to the bottom of things.

She should probably not ask the teacher a lot of questions, though.
