Philly principal hit with a brick at school dismissal

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.

Anthious Boone, principal of the K-8 school, was overseeing dismissal when a fight broke out between Fitler students and pupils from various nearby Mastery Charter schools, officials said.

Boone waded into the fray to try to break it up, said Robin Cooper, president of Commonwealth Association of School Administrators Local 502, the union that represents principals.

Due to the fact that intercity schools are 90% black.

As long as you keep violent feral kids in the school system it will keep deteriorating.

Bring back corporal punishment and expelling them for bad behavior.

Why was there even a brick lying around?

For the life of me I cannot figure out why City Hall markets OC in ARMPITTsburgh as well as Flithadelphia. Then listens to owners (with straight faces) when complaints about the ash/trash that come to OC - specifically from PA.

It is all about the Benjamins - indeed!
