Didn't Learn Anything? Sue Your School!

When students graduate from school, it's logical for the students to expect that they have acquired at least a minimum amount of knowledge. If an inadequate amount of knowledge is gained, it seems the students would have a legitimate complaint.

From The WGALChannel.com:

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A learning-disabled man is suing a York County school district, alleging that it inadequately prepared him to enter college or the work force after he graduated from high school two years ago.

The federal complaint alleges that the Southern York County School District made few changes to the special-education services it was providing to the student -- even though annual standardized tests showed that he lacked basic reading and writing skills.

It's not currently known what the plaintiff is seeking in damages, however, the school is surely not doing its job if a person can graduate without being able to read and write.
