• stating that “[t]he duty owed derives from the simple fact that a school, in assuming physical custody and control over its students, effectively takes the place of parents and guardians.”
• stating that, under New York law, schools must “adequately supervise the students in their charge and . . . will be held liable for foreseeable injuries proximately related to the absence of adequate supervision”
• examining a jury verdict to assess whether it was irrational
