Pity The Fool Cont'd

from the nysun article on chaos at the Ross Charter School

To enhance the school's focus on globalization and cultural history, classrooms are lined with Roman sculptures.
A former teacher, Heather Dallas, said the children had broken the sculptures. "They would throw things on them, they would hang on them, they would take crayons and actually color on them," she said. "They broke off the finger, they broke off the penis — whatever would cross a fifth- or sixth-graders' mind to do with a naked statue in their room."
