I think bruce has nailed it.
You guys have an incredibly litigious culture. We've been heading somewhat in that direction ourselves, but we're nowhere near as far along. Parents complaining and potentially suing the school is much more of a potential problem over there. That's not to say we don't have our share of silliness. Kids getting sent home, suspended or expelled over stupid shit. But the fear of parental complaint power is I think a lot less.
