Teachers can "get away" with a lot more when it comes to copyright if they are using material for educational purposes. The implications and consequences for them if they violate copyright laws is great, however, because not only do they get into trouble and lose their job, but the school becomes liable as well. The school system runs a high risk if teachers don't adhear to copyright laws and they get caught.
There are violations everyday. How many times do teachers reward students with a fun movie, especially during the holidays and beforer summer break. I think that often the teachers don't even know what's lawful. Luckily, the copyright police aren't employed in the school!
