This is not a bad idea! But let's redirect the focus
of the lawsuits to where they belong.
Very often (most times), the kids that are routinely
disruptive in class and seemingly immune to the
school's diciplinary measures are reflecting the
situation they are used to at home.
What better way to get an uninvolved parent involved
than to charge them civilly?
Parents who are convicted of gross neglect should be
made responsible for the huge waste of resources
(financial and man-hours) their kids are saddleing
their schools with. Those who are unemployed could be
sentenced to serve "at the scene of the crime" for any
number of days.
