Practice question
During an authorized school activity, an unemancipated minor under the school's special parental authority causes actionable injury. The school argues that parents must always be the sole primary defendants because Article 2180 exists. Which framework must be considered?
- The special Family Code Articles 218–219, including principal and solidary responsibility and the stated defenses, rather than an automatic parents-only rule
- An absolute rule that schools are never responsible outside classroom walls
- A rule that every parent is always the sole primary obligor
- A rule eliminating all diligence defenses
- Only the student's tuition receipt
