Well, OK, I can see that.

As a matter of fact, how plausible is it that a student would bring such
a case in the US, given of course that the action *was* innocent? I
can't imagine any of my students doing so, but perhaps the atmosphere
there is different.

Have there been many examples of music teachers and their students going
through this? Jim, you mentioned you've seen 'a lot of this sort of
thing' -- was that in music, specifically?
