Is there any between teachers' unions and the recent teacher misconduct legislation?

Whose fault is it?

As is most of the teaching/safety world, I am frustrated by Jarod's law. I do understand that a small child was killed due to a safety issue in a school that apparently no one was in charge of keeping track of, but this seems like a situation where the consequence does not fit the crime. As with most of you, my school has been inspected and we got back our suggested modifications. Some are reasonable, but most are not. My concern for the future is not whether our schools will be safer or not, but where is the funding going to come from to enforce all of these rules. Will this issue still seem so important 5 or 10 years from now, or will it be simply pushed aside? And, I have to agree with Dr. Scott, what in the world is wrong with this table company? If I am going to place blame, that is exactly where I go, back to the source. Schools have enough responsibility and worry that goes into educating and caring for children daily, they should not have to be so weary of companies who claim to make products to make our lives in a school "easier". This is certainly not the case in this issue.
