    Do teachers have a right to dress as they wish? Can Social Studies Teachers be prohibited from discussing controversial issues? When can copyrighted works be copied without permission?   If you’ve ever pondered these or other questions of law, you need to know the right answers!

I love this book, it really has opened my eyes and made school law easier to understand. Thank you, your prompt attention to shipping this book made all of the difference in the world,Anyone in school law should get this book as a reference.

I bought it, I like or it works for me or the recipient of the item or it makes the college students in the family happy. Nothing profound or lyrical – whatever I bought, it does what I want it to do.

These book was straight to the point and that's what more books need to be. It is a few years old so just double check changes in recent school law.

Excellent content. Excellent Service. I would recommend this book to teachers and school administrators. Great information to know.

I mean... I got it for my Graduate school, so it's great for that! Haha, great price! Thanks.
