Jazzymom7, your example actually works against the kid, not the teacher. When caught in the wrong, people try to cover up, whether they are doctors or students, as likely occurred in this case. That is a far cry from claiming the teachers are on some vendetta against the kid, just as the doctors likely didn’t intentionally cause a risky mistake because they were on a vendetta against you. In both cases, parties tried to evade responsibility for their actions.
