Suing teachers in Canada

"A British Columbia father has sued his son's Grade 2 Montessori teacher claiming that she 'purposely and maliciously worked to damage the self-esteem' of his son over such things as failing to encourage the child's spelling, not sending home a daily homework list and, in one case, displaying an unfinished poem in the school hallway. ...Similar issues will arise in a Montreal courtroom next Tuesday, when a teacher at Westmount's prestigious Roslyn School will face the first of two lawsuits by aggrieved parents." Canada's National Post is kind enough to quote me on the U.S.-style trend (Zosia Bielski, "The new golden rule", National Post, Mar. 20).
