Miller said the episode has strained her relationship with her son’s teacher and instructional assistant. She said her son has received an excellent education at the school and hopes it continues.<\/p>\n

“There?s still a lot of animosity,” Miller said. “I don’t want any more hurt feelings.”<\/p>\n

Perhaps Ms. Miller should have thought of that before she sued <\/em>her son’s special ed school<\/a> after an employee there gave her son a (bad) haircut.<\/p>\n

Now, I’d be angry if someone at Katherine’s school were to cut her hair without our permission. I’d complain to the person who did it, to the administration, to the school board, whatever.<\/p>\n

And that’s it. Because, frankly, life’s too short to worry about someone else’s poor — but essentially benign — judgment. And suing <\/em>the school district (which settled for $10K rather than incur higher legal costs) is so far beyond the pale, it’s the same as if she burned down the gym in protest. Especially since, if it had been a good <\/em>haircut, she says she wouldn’t have minded.<\/em><\/p>\n

But a bad <\/em>haircut? Call in the lawyers!<\/p>\n

And now <\/em>that she’s been awarded the money that could have gone to fund a paraprofessional, or educational materials, or repainting the walls, she’s concerned that it’s caused “hurt feelings” in the relationship between her and the school.<\/p>\n

Feh.<\/p>\n
