Educational Malpractice:  For the purposes of this blog, we will define this term rather broadly, although a legal (tort) definition might be much more limited:
Any wrongful or negligent action that affects students negatively.  For example, in my opinion, it would include counseling a student (or allowing them to counsel themselves) out of a rigorous program.  For example, I was told by our top student (who was accepted Early Decision to Harvard) this month that when she was in 9th grade her counselor ("who might be a nice person," as the student said) told her, in response to a request to take AP Bio the following year; "that is really hard...it is for the students who are going to go to Harvard! You should really think about taking something less challenging."  Amazing...
