Education of America's school children always has been and always will be a hot-button issue. From what should be taught to how to pay for education to how to keep kids safe in schools, impassioned debates emerge and mushroom, both within the scholarly community and among the general public. This volume in the point/counterpoint Debating Issues in American Education reference series tackles the topic of school law. Fifteen to twenty chapters explore such varied issues as academic freedom, copyright, privacy rights of students and of teachers, due process rights, unions and collective bargaining, and more. Each chapter opens with an introductory essay by the volume editor, followed by point/counterpoint articles written and signed by invited experts, and concludes with Further Readings and Resources, thus providing readers with views on multiple sides of legal issues within the school setting and pointing them toward more in-depth resources for further exploration.
