Legal Issues

As a future teacher I have many concerns such as how I should act in certain situations. When I act i will have to take into account legal results, and how it will effect the children mentally and their wellbeing. I will have to be careful of my actions and as a teacher I cannot turn a blind eye to a students situation. In doing so, like reporting what the child told me, my student would probably hate me but overall I need to hope that it is what is best for the student. The legal issues that concern me is the fact that some as simple as pat on the back can be taken the wrong way and cause legal issue. What scores me is whether our legal system will really bring justice or just cause more pain. I also worry about whether me as a teacher will be able to teach without the constant worry about possible legal problems for basically nothing.
