Education

• Education is the process through which people
  endeavor to pass along to their children their
  hard-won wisdom and their aspirations for a
  better world. This process begins shortly after
  birth, as parents seek to train the infant to
  behave as their culture demands. They soon, for
  instance, teach the child how to turn babbling
  sounds into language and, through example and
  precept, they try to instill in the child the
  attitudes, values, skills, and knowledge that
  will govern their offspring's behavior throughout
  later life.
• Schooling, or formal education, consists of
  experiences that are deliberately planned and
  utilized to help young people learn what adults
  consider important for them to know and to help
  teach them how they should respond to choices.

Who is a teacher?

• A teacher is someone who communicates
  information or skill so that someone else may
  learn. Parents are the first teachers. Just by
  living with their child and sharing their
  everyday activities with him, they teach him
  their language, their values and mores, and their
  manners.
• Information and skills difficult to teach through
  family living are taught in a school by a person
  whose special occupation is teaching.

Professor sued over litigation lesson(1)

• By Ben Fenton in Washington
• A LAW professor who pulled a chair out from under
  one of his students to illustrate America's
  culture of litigation is being sued.
• Denise DiFede is seeking 5 million (?3.5
  million) for "severe pain and mental anguish" she
  claims she suffered from the demonstration. Her
  back was injured and she was embarrassed, it is
  alleged.
• She was summoned to the front of her class at
  Pace University in White Plains, near New York,
  by Prof Gary Munneke. He wanted to demonstrate to
  his students how a case called Garrett v Daley
  had come about.

16
Professor sued over litigation lesson(2)

• In the case, often used as a textbook
  illustration of what is meant by "the intentional
  infliction of a harmful or offensive contact", a
  schoolboy was sued by a classmate after he
  whipped a chair out from underneath his friend,
  who was about to sit down.
• Prof Munneke had indicated to Miss DiFede that
  she should sit on a chair at the front of the
  class and, as she lowered herself into it, he
  pulled it away. The student fell on the floor,
  causing her skirt to rise above her hips and
  exposing her legs.
• Miss DiFede's lawyer, Susan Dennehy, said "It
  was humiliating. There she was in front of all
  her peers with her dress up around her waist and
  injured."

17
Professor sued over litigation lesson(3)

• She claimed that her client had sent Prof Munneke
  an email earlier in the day in which she
  apologised for the fact that she had not had time
  to read about Garrett v Daley for her homework.
• He therefore knew that she would be the only
  member of the class not in on the joke of what
  was about to happen to her when she went up for
  the demonstration.
• Prof Munneke did not know that his student had
  recently had an operation on her back, her lawyer
  said. The professor was not available for comment
  yesterday.
