I know how it feels to be a teacher who is so annoyed with a hyper active student. But a story relayed to me by a fellow teacher made me think twice before acting out. I didn’t know that a simple “eraser throwing” act can cause thousands of dollars in lawsuit.

A grade school teacher was sued by a parent because she threw an eraser to her student who has very naughty. The boy place tacks on the teacher’s seat and when she sat down, the tacks hurt the teacher. Without thinking, she threw the eraser to the boy and it hit the boy’s nose. He bled.

The mother of the boy hired a personal injury Tampa lawyer. The teacher had to pay an obscene amount. Plus she was dismissed from the school.

Now as I think about it, I cannot afford to be “annoyed” with my students. I might get a lawsuit if I react at first thought - personal injury Tampa FL lawyer will haunt me and take everything away from me. Oh no. I have to chill from now on.
