Can I pursue a complaint against my attorney?

I filed a lawsuit for negligence against a massage spa. I was told they had $2 million in insurance. After a year and a half of negotiations and depositions, we finally went to mediation. During mediation, the insurance company for the massage spa announced that the spa only had $100k in coverage and it was an eroding policy so only $77k was left. It turns out that my attorney did not read the entire policy and admitted to that fact. He agreed to deduct his fees from 40% (since we filed suit) to 33% (as if we didn't actually file) but I still don't think that is enough for his huge omission. Do I have any recourse? I have NOT signed the closing documents from their office as of yet.

Can schools dictate how we spend our free time on school grounds if we’re following all school rules

My high school XC team likes to play hand tennis on the courts before practice. School ends at 2:05 and practice starts at 3 so we enjoy playing a fun game. However today we were told by the schools athletic director from the time school is over to practice we have to wait in his office. He said we cannot be alone without supervision, but he also said it would be a different story if we were not on the team. Is the school allowed to dictate how we spend our 55 minutes of free time?
