Article titles which specify the plaintiff classroom amount are a good indicator of poor journalism.

You can usually disregard such articles as you can expect biased/incomplete reporting.

Lawsuit claim amounts have zero bearing on reality. They must be specified in any classroom, but lawyers just always specify massive amounts without justification.

Any reporting on this amount indicates ignorance in the system or intentional dishonesty.

Also note that the damages typically can't be adjusted up, only down.
