“This illustration accompanied a news story titled ‘So Many Laws, So Little Time.’ When dealing with students, teachers in the United States are not permitted to use physical contact, even in a destructive situation. For example, Josh Kaplowitz, a young college grad in the Teach for America corps, put his hand on the back of a misbehaving seventh grader to make him leave the classroom and was sued for $20 million. The story questions the common sense of such a law and asks if we have become a culture of rule-followers, driven to frame every solution in terms of legal risk.”
