in the UK it doesn't count

Under US copyright law there is an exemption for "performance or display" of many types of copyrighted works in a non-profit classroom, whether by students or teachers, in addition to the "fair use" defense for other academic purposes. 17 USC §§ 110, 107.

In theory, a public school in the USA cannot be sued for damages in federal court, under the Eleventh Amendment of the US Constitution, as it is an "agency of the state".
