What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My question is similar, yet different, to the previous question asked. I didn't want to dominate his thread with my question, so I started a new one. My situation is this: My son is in first grade. He's told me that his teacher yells a lot and is sometimes mean (I'm often given examples of this). We've already been to the principal twice who's then "talked" with the teacher. After talking to a couple of other mothers who've heard/feel the same way, I also discovered that this same treatment has been going on for approx. 20 yrs. or more. I feel that the situation isn't going to change and I'd like to get proof. Is it legal in the state of Ohio to send a recording device in with him without the teacher's knowledge? It's my understanding that as long as one party is aware of it...do I tell my son to make it legal, or is this not legal at all because I'm a third party? I also read that it's legal in a public place where they would not have reasonable privacy..does a public school count as such? Thank you in advance for your response.
