=__﻿Hot Topic 10 - Teacher Responsibilites and Teacher Negligence__= Teachers are required to act as **"reasonable and careful parents"** in terms of keeping students safe in schools and during schools activities. Is this an appropriate standard of a "competent professional", which is required of other professioanls? Are there some activities that are too dangerous for school sponsorship? For example, Ski trips, Gymnastics, hockey tournaments, Spring Break trips to a foreign country? Are field trips too dangerous for schools? Should they be optional for the teacher? Should they be abandoned altogether?
