Italian parents beat up principal over grades

[SlowwHand]

Now I'm sure there will be people like Asher that think this was appropriate.
What I want to know is, wtf ?
Do you think that's the proper instruction for a child?
I don't see anything about the dork family members going to jail.
Again, WTF?

Dad, grandfather of student rough up educator; mobile phone ban also cited

Associated Press

BARI, Italy - An irate Italian family beat up a principal because they were unhappy with the grades a young relative had received and a ban on mobile phones at school.

A ban on phones at middle school, too?!?

Three male relatives, including the father and grandfather of the student, punched and pushed principal Ugo Castorina at the Lombardi middle school in Bari on Saturday, police said.

They were angered by grades on the latest report card and by a recent ban by Castorina on mobile phones at the school he has run for the past 22 years.

Castorina was taken to hospital and treated for mild contusions. Police escorted him back to the school.

“Some people may not like it but standards must be set and rules must be respected if a school is to function,” Castorina told reporters.

Crap like that happens. It generally comes from people who don't really understand what school is about.

I thought you were the one that favoured excessive physical violence? They should've smashed the principal's head into the concrete floor repeatedly, too.

funny. Today there were news of an educational supervisor (a member of PiS - "Law and Justice" party), who, after his son failed in physics, asked the principal of the school (of PiS party as well) for a talk, which resulted in sacking elderly physics' teacher. Students revolted and demanded keeping the teacher, which was done.
Nothing special, except for that PiS gained popularity by shouting that it fights corruption, crime etc and day by day it is revealed that its member are not better than former left-winged coalition, which at least wasn't taking over the state openly and had some decency.

PRAISE ITALIA!

Bari should be polish. It belonged to our queen, so it should have been inherited by our kings, but it was annected illegally by the Spaniards after she was poisoned
There's a nice tomb of her there.

[Straybow]

She probably wasn't Polish, so Poland should belong to wherever she came from.

Actually, I agree with Asher. Weren't you condoning extreme violence for something or other?

[SlowwHand]

You mean for the intruder that woke up the residents in the middle of the night? I said I could understand their shock and confusion. Just a little different than this situation.

Shock and confusions = excessive violence in Texas.

Aren't these parents shocked and confused also?

[Verto]

Everyone demands that parents get involved in their childs education, and then when they do, you people complain.

[SlowwHand]

Verto, go back to your studying. Ok?

Asher, you stay in a state of confusion. It's called Ontario.

[Asher]

Ontario isn't a state, Mr. Worldly Texan.

Why? I'll just get my family members to beat up my professors if they try to fail me.

It's the closest thing you have, Mr. Muttonhead.
