MR. JUSTICE SHEA,
specially concurring:
I agree with the majority opinion but simply emphasize that in the circumstances of this case, the control issue is not that important. I am not sure, as the majority opinion states, that there exists an actual right to control on the part of the Darby School District. However, I do not believe that in cases of this nature, the control or right to control is that important. Here the overriding issue is the direct benefit to the school district, the encouragement by the school district that Courser get his advanced degree, and the fact that in going to summer school Courser gave up his regular summer employment with the Forest Service, certainly a great sacrifice to himself and his family.
