Is "In Loco Parentis" Dead?
Zirkel, Perry A.; Reichner, Henry F.
Phi Delta Kappan, v68 n6 p466-69 Feb 1987
The concept "in loco parentis" is discussed in relation to its historical place in education and its current status. The doctrine has expanded from its original idea of "restraint and correction" to figure significantly in court cases involving corporal punishment, student searches, school rules, correlative duties, and teacher/student relationship.
