A Philadelphia principal suffered serious injuries when he was struck in the face with a brick at dismissal — a symptom, some administrators say, of a larger problem at some city schools.
The incident happened Wednesday outside Fitler Academics Plus School in Germantown, officials said.

That was my first thought. I don’t think a boy in lederhosen threw that brick.
RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, though, Germantown used to be a nice area and some parts still are (as you get closer to Chestnut Hill). Its kind of sad -- you see historical buildings from the 1700s next to dilapidated row houses.
I actually drove through there one time because my wife wanted to visit a Catholic Shrine located there. It was daylight but I felt I was taking my life in my hands driving the streets there.
Now we know what the “Plus” means.
“Now we know what the “Plus” means.”
And imagine what thuggery happens at Academics Minus.
And nothing there to care about the fighting in the fog that went on around there, because you know, this country sucks from the very beginning, so who cares about those evil racists who surrounded the Chew house: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3557451/posts
Just a note: I like how it’s “Fitler”. LOL
It's a symptom of a thug needs to spend 10-20 years behind bars for assault with a deadly weapon. Instead of pretending that "crime" is the problem, deal with criminals one by one. With fewer criminals and no evidence of criminals getting away with their crimes, "crime" will become much less of an issue. Rappers with attitude would seem a lot less cool if those role models spent ages 16-36 behind bars and came out too old to be admired by the young.
I admire the Principal’s willingness to get involved, but there should at least be one Security Guard available who has been trained in conflict resolution when dealing with adolescents or teens. Or an Assistant Principal. Some schools don’t want ‘outsiders’ knowing about what happens on school grounds. Police reports become public knowledge. Perhaps many such incidents would negatively effect that school’s ratings and donations.
This school is part of the Philadelphia School District, not a Charter school. They may not have the personnel/resources to add additional security.

heh heh heh
That’s what they have decided to accept. That’s just the way it is in their world.
A tad large for an eighth grader?
But he repeated the eighth grade a few times; and a few other grades too.
Gee, ya think?
From now on, he is to be known as Brick Face
If public schools had videocams with tapes available to the public, people would become aware of what goes on inside them. You have to see it to believe it.
Why do we never hear about zero-tolerance policies is these situations?
