This is a brutal, brutal crime. There has to be more to this story. Something just isn't right; 12 year old kids are not this savage over a school yard misunderstanding.

My high school used to play in the same leagues as Englewood High, and we looked forwar to road trips to that school as much as we would have looked forward to road trips to Detroit.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is this a middle class area? It seems to me that almost of these school outrage stories come from schools that would be considered “good”.

There are schools that are sooooo violent, dysfunctional, and abusive that it would be better for the child **never** to attend. I **seriously** mean it. It would be better for the child to have no education whatsoever than to every step foot in these cesspools.

This school is one of them....and.....when school opens after the Christmas STUPID parents will still send their kids.

By the way...No mention of the race of the attackers. That means they are black.

Jeez! What has happened to kids' sense of proportion and fairness?

When did schoolyard spats or fistfights turn into cold-blooded gang attacks?

This is just pure, uncontrolled group rage, and disturbing on many levels...

I thought Dismus was the patron saint of thieves, not murderous mauraders.

Wouldn't Saint Horridus be a more appropriate name for the prison school?

7 on 1. If I’m faced with that, my life is threatened and I will react accordingly - looking them straight in their cowardly eyes when I do so.

What these perps did is aggravated mayhem; its punishable by life in prison without possibility of parole. That is what each of them deserve.

When I was in 6th grade my father died. I missed 4.5 weeks of school. I came back and there was a lot of support..I was 11 going on 12 years old. I lived in North Jersey at the time in a very affluent town and 99.999% white.

About a month after I returned to school I was jumped by 6 kids 1 of them was the only black kid in town who got a tremendous amount of attention because he was the only black kid in town and a recognized athlete. Him and I played on the same teams and his Dad was my baseball coach for 2 years.

I was jumped at recess because I was having “words” over a ball that we were all playing with...I believe it was a basketball.

They kicked the ever living shit out of me and one kid sucker punched me in the temple. They laughed while doing it for 5 minutes.

I had been in enough neighborhood fights in my life to know how to defend myself...but sometimes there are just scumbag bullies like these piles of crap that did this to this kid that feel invinceable. They feel they can get away with anything. I could have been killed that day...just a month after my own Dad died. All over having words over a ball.

12 year olds ARE that savage over a school yard misunderstanding.

Oh I forgot to add...I believe the reason I was attacked that day was because I was shown a bit more attention and understanding at the time versus other kids because of the hell I had just gone through the month before.

It was all rooted in jealousy and ignorance.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Anyone that doesn’t have their heads stuck up their pseudo-intellectual progressive ass knows EXACTLY what was up in this story. It’s an all too common story the mainstream media ignores.

Hey Holder!! Is this the sort of discussion on race you want to have?

I thought not, you chickenshit political pawn.

This is sickening and heartbreaking. The girl who incited this should also be held accountable.

Prayers for this boy and his family and friends.

My guess is that every attacker was black and it was completely racially motivated. It’s happening all across the country, and it’s gotten much worse since zero took office.

...two of them required to wear ankle bracelets.

They should be wearing a ball and chain instead.

Oh, that poor kid! I saw stuff like this in junior high and high school, though it was never near this brutal. I’m too cynical to believe the boy will get justice for what was done to him, so I’ll just pray that he comes through this horrible thing without permanent physical damage.

This is a brutal, brutal crime. There has to be more to this story. Something just isn't right; 12 year old kids are not this savage over a school yard misunderstanding.

The superintendent said the girl, who has also been charged, led the boys to Muneton, saying "He's the one."

Sadly, you're wrong. None of these kids was interested in ascertaining whether there was a misunderstanding and, if so, what could be done to clarify the matter. All it takes is for one person to feel put upon and then tell her friends who are eager for an excuse to beat the crap out of someone. It was like this 40 years ago in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Now things may go on a bit more since there are a bunch of the kids making videos of it on their phones to show friends later.

I’ve seen it, but only in kids of a certain race, not racist, just saying.
