Case I
The first lesson from this case is that the fact that the school cannot guarantee the safety of children does not absolve the school’s liability for injuries that take place within it. The second lesson is that what seems like a simple act of play or at worst a prank can be very dangerous hence the need to be cautious at all times. The last lesson is that teachers must be extra cautious when they leave children unattended. These lessons are also canvassed in Cornell and Limber (2015). Law and policy on the concept of bullying at school. American Psychologist , 70 (4), 333-343
Case II
The first lesson from the second case is that being charitable does not extinguish the obligation for reasonableness as a teacher has to always be reasonable despite the circumstances. The second lesson is that pupils should only be exposed to sports whose dangers they have reasonably been trained about. The final lesson is that teachers must treat students based on holistic knowledge of the special circumstances pertaining to each student. The lessons above are supported by the case of Jimenez v. Roseville City School Dist., 247 Cal. App. 4th 594, 202 Cal. Rptr. 3d 536 (Ct. App. 2016).

Case III
The first lesson from case three is that it is the responsibility of the school to find out its peculiar sources of liabilities then seek to curb them. The second lesson is that the lack of knowledge about a certain source of liability in a school does not extinguish the liability it causes. The final lesson is that special attention must be paid to special needs students more so when it comes to security issues. The case of Grey v. City of Topeka, No. 117,652 (Kan. Ct. App. Mar. 16, 2018) supports the lessons above.
Case IV
Lesson one from Case four is that doctors’ orders about students are not optional and must be followed to the letter. Another lesson is that when it comes to doctors’ orders, it is better to err on the side of caution and over-follow, rather than under-follow the orders. The final lesson from the instant case is that coaches and teachers who engage students on extreme activities and sports should seek to have a little knowledge about healthcare issues. The lessons above are also supported by Kahn v. East Side Union High School Dist. , 75 P.3d 30, 4 Cal. Rptr. 3d 103, 31 Cal. 4th 990 (2003).
