By that logic, we should never let students leave at all, because certainly some have been killed in car wrecks on the way home.
There is NO logic in preventing people doing that which they will do later anyway.
- kube-system 6y agoNo -- common law ascribes different responsibilities to a school during the school day, in comparison to before arriving or after leaving for the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_loco_parentis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_loco_parentis The logic isn't "kids might die in a crash", it is that "schools are responsible for what happens to kids during the school day". The school administration isn't trying to be altruistic, they're trying to avoid liability for a death.
