Teachers

Teachers are not substitute disciplinarians for police.

It seems to be the switch that the police are involved in: 'disciplining' of teachers for doing the police service job. Parents take action against teachers and get it on legal aid, no doubt. If cost was borne by these people then it should make reckless court action less likely.

If the system is abused, it must be removed.

This is a general problem with legal aid. But it would mean less legal work through the courts and thence less income for the lawyers.

So make it a tax payers liability to subsidise all these legal vultures.

The stench of vested interest rises even higher.
