If you ask the citizens who live around here, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm beginning to see a pattern developing here...
De-Schooling.
these must be some of the really nice kids that come from Joe Moore's "affordable housing" projects
It's really very sad. Imagine the good kids, just trying to get an education of some sort in the middle of all this.
Well it sounds like there is a problem.....has anyone asked the Principal and faculty o sit down and talk about solutions? Come on people, this is our community. This is our home. There is a solution. What about staggered dismissal times? What about dismissing student out of more doors? Less doors? What about a meeting with students and parents and faculty to find out what the problems are? Are these all students fighting? Are there outsiders involved? Who are they?
More police patrol that will take action against offenders? It is interesting how commenters keep replying to race of stgudents. I honestly don't think that is the issue. Remember why we live in Rogers Park. We are one of the most diverse communities in the nation. This includes diversity by race, income, education, and circulation of the local Public Library, not to mention our blogging capabilities. Let us join together and talk with the principal and staff and students and parents and find a solution. Life is too short! Didn' I hear somewhere if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Maybe that is an Algebra problem.
I remember that day. Things were already going crazy during school with the huge fights. At about 11am that day, there was some kind of large food fight in the cafeteria. Some kids were even fighting in the hallways. It wasn't too crazy, but it was still a bit rowdy. I guess they waited for school to finish before they decided "hey, let's make all hell brake loose".
