Where It Rains, It Doesn't Necessarily Pour.
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n9 p643-44 May 1996
Summarizes a complex sex abuse case in a Texas district that turned on a teacher's failure to report a coach's misdeeds to the proper authorities. The appeals court, which found for the teacher, concluded that the missing ingredient was control. The child-abuse reporting statute did not empower a teacher with legal control over the coach's behavior. (12 references) (MLH)
