Do Today's Educators Need Professional Liability  Insurance...
=============================================
In the last 10 years the  number of lawsuits filed against education
professionals has increased over  270%.* The rate at which parents
and students are naming teachers in lawsuits is alarming. No matter
where you teach, in today's litigious society you're at risk, even if
the suit is frivolous and you do nothing wrong. Learn more about how
to protect yourself:  http://www.teachr.net/s/012.htm

A. Special Announcements - Newsletter Buttons At the base of all our newsletters, you will find five new buttons. Many of our readers have asked about these, and over the next few newsletters we would like to tell you a bit about them, and how they can be used. This week we look at the "Complain", "Unsubscribe" and "Confirm" buttons.

"Confirm" - is the opposite of complain. Please click this button to show that you are an opt-in subscriber. This also allows you to give us a bit more information about yourself so that we can tailor our newsletter to your specific grade level or geographic location.  Last week several teachers emailed to let us know that their country was not on the list. We have now added 100 new countries. Please click "confirm" to check if your country is now listed, and let us know if it is not so we can update the list.

"Complain" - this button will automatically remove you from our list. This is not for complaining about the content of our newsletter, but rather to complain about SPAM. If you simply want to unsubscribe, we prefer that you use the "Unsubscribe" button, which also automatically removes you from the list. These buttons are necessary to comply with new anti-spam legislation.    =======================================
