Thinking about movin to Chicago so my daughter can go to a nice school like this
Quote:
On September 24, Derrion Albert, a 16-year-old Chicago public school student, was brutally beaten to death in a large street fight while walking home from school. The brawl, caught on video by another student, involved at least 50 teenagers, most of whom attend Christian Fenger Academy High School in Roseland.
According to most accounts, Albert was drawn into the fight as he walked to a city bus stop. Apparently, his attackers had no grudge against him. Four teenagers are currently being held without bond on first-degree murder charges.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Fenger students have repeatedly fought on the streets before and after school. Students from the Roseland neighborhood surrounding the school, known locally as the “Ville,” have clashed with another group of students from Altgeld Gardens, the largest public housing project in Chicago. The development is located five miles southeast of the school, separated from the city by a complex of railroad and industrial complexes.
The students from Altgeld Gardens have attended Fenger since the Chicago Public School (CPS) board transformed the school that used to serve their neighborhood, Carver High, into a selective-enrollment military academy.
At least five Chicago teenagers have died in similar violence since the beginning of the school year a month ago, and at least seven others have been wounded.
