High school dare costs B.C. parents more than $48,000, Shibley Righton's Bryce Chandler comments on the case.

A recent British Columbia Supreme Court decision involving a $48,000 prank highlights the fact that a "kids will be kids" argument does not absolve students from behaving inappropriately at school, says Windsor education lawyer Bryce Chandler.
While most decisions involving schools and negligence discuss the duty of care owed to students by teachers and/or school boards, Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District No. 68 v. Dean, 2015 BCSC 11 (CanLII) deals with the duty of care owed by a student to his or her school, says Bryce Chandler, who did not act in the case.
