Dr.? All that education certainly bought him an ass kicking. He learned more from the kid.

See you mean-old white privileged monsters. The poor kid was listening to gangsta rap or Latino crap church organ music and trying to get over the tragic death of his Mother.

Many if not most teachers deserve said "whoop-ass"...on a regular basis. At least then they would be earning their overblown pay.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the T-Team:

Aw, don’t be so hard on the kid. I’m sure all of us gave our school principals a beating when our mothers died...

Oh hey. You think this principal was the only one attacked by a student? This also happened Tuesday here in the Big Apple:

A teen bit a Queens high school principal in the arm Tuesday, police said, marking the second attack on a principal in as many days.

Principal Gareth Robinson, of the Institute for Health Professions at Cambria Heights on 116th Ave., went to Long Island Jewish Medical Center after the morning attack, according to authorities.

Robinson was trying to calm Nicholas Fonseca, 17, when the student bit him, cops said. The teen is charged with felony assault.

Maybe NYC school personnel should also get rabies shots in addition to their flu shots.

More than likely, he shot his mother in the head.

Recovering from what? His ass-kicking from a little kid or the revelation that he’s a contemptible liberal wimp?

If the former does not lead to the latter, then the principal is really lost.
