Assuming the recess supervisors were negligent, which of the following would PREVENT Lindsay from winning a negligence suit against the district and the individual teachers supervising the playground?
Mr. Stephan is the new principal of Edgewood elementary school. During the first week of school 4th grader Lindsay Smith was injured at recess.

Mr. Stephan has been asked to investigate the incident. A. The supervisors were not being paid to supervise the playground B. Lindsay would have been injured even though the supervisors were guilty of negligent supervision of the playground C. The supervisors are protected by law D. The supervisors were doing their job
