Damned Tennesee Lawyers and Whiny Parents

From The Seattle Times, in a piece entitled “Underachievers’ parents deny honor students."

"The school honor roll, a time-honored system for rewarding “A” students, has become an apparent source of embarrassment for some underachievers.

As a result, all Nashville schools have stopped posting honor rolls, and some are considering a ban on hanging good work in the hallways — at the advice of school lawyers.

After a few parents complained their children might be ridiculed for not making the list, school-system lawyers warned that state privacy laws forbid releasing academic information, good or bad, without permission."
