Kristja Falvo contends that the widely employed practice of teachers having students grade one another's homework andtests, then announce the results as the teacher records them, violates a 1974 federal law designed to protect the privacy ofeducational records. Her children’s schooldistrict, supported by other school boards and the Bush administration, argues that such grades are transitory notations, not permanent “records” covered by the law. In 1996, Falvo sued the Owasso, A Okla., Independent School District in federal district court, but the court it year, howev: S$. Court of Ap: peals for the 10th Circuit sided with Falvo, saying that students’ grades were protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). ‘That law was written by Sen.
