(FORTUNE Magazine) – When Andy Hansen brought home a report card with a disappointing C in math, his parents didn't ground him or send him to a tutor. They sued his teacher. On Friday, after a year and six different appeals within the school district, another year's worth of court proceedings, $4,000 in legal fees paid by the Hansens, and another $8,500 by the district, the Danville couple got their own report card from Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge John Van de Poel . . . The C stands. Now the student's father, auto dealer Mike Hansen, says he plans to take the case to the State Court of Appeals . . . ''We went in and tried to make a deal: They wanted a C, we wanted an A, so why not compromise on a B,'' Mike Hansen said. ''But they dug in their heels, and here we are.'' -- From a news report in the San Francisco Examiner.
