       I think teachers have to be aware of up-to-date and
well-tested methods of sports coaching. I also personaaly insist that students wear all necessary safety/protective gear at ALL times.

       A recent celebrated case in Victoria where a boy sued a teacher and  the Dept of Education over severe sunburn he had received at a school swimming carnival. [Skin cancer issues are very prominent in Australia as we live under the hole in the world's ozone layer.]

       We have also had kids sue for injuries that they received in sports they played of their own volition.

       A tricky subject.

       Got any specific incidents you'd like to run by me?
