| Jul 1, 2019 at 19:28 | comment | added | Sidney | @PhilLello It should probably be noted in the context of the question "In Trouble" is not the same as "Sufficiently in trouble to be jailed" or even "In legal trouble". There is a taboo around the word, people don't like it and might treat you different if you use it, and private institutions can punish you in whatever legal matter they want, but you cannot be punished by the government. The controversy around Stephanie Bell of course is that she is a government employee and was punished by a government institution, that said, we put extra restrictions on teachers, so this isnt much different. | |
