²Fourth Grader Suspended By School After Uncovering Test Flaw; Family Awarded $1 Million Settlement
A fourth grader was suspended by his school after uncovering a flaw in a test. The student had noticed that there was a mistake in one of the questions and brought it to the attention of his teacher. However, instead of being praised for his keen observation skills, he was suspended for “tampering with school materials.” The student’s family took legal action against the school, and after a lengthy court battle, they were awarded a $1 million settlement for the unjust suspension.
