Stupid Educator News

From the Washington Examiner: The principal of a District high school and two staff members have been accused of beating up a former co-worker after a homecoming football game.
Thelma Jarrett, principal of Calvin Coolidge High School in Northwest Washington, surrendered to D.C. police Thursday morning on a warrant charge of simple assault.
Jarrett and two other women, Donna Pixley, 52, and Bridgette V. Stevens, 42, are accused of hitting and kicking a former employee in a parking lot outside the high school football stadium in Northwest on Nov. 2.
The victim, Rashida King-Hicks, told D.C. police she heard Jarrett say, "Get her, bitch!" before the blows rained down on her.
King-Hicks told The Washington Examiner that she does not know why she was attacked, but had no further comment.
Jarrett and the two staff members were placed on administrative leave Nov. 9, according to DC Public Schools officials. Stevens is listed on Coolidge rosters as an administrative assistant, and Pixley was a registrar.....
According to the police report, King-Hicks was watching the football game from the parking lot at 6315 Fifth St. NW when she noticed Jarrett and Pixley standing nearby.
King-Hicks, who worked as a clerk at Coolidge until about six months ago, greeted her former boss, Jarrett. Pixley began cursing at King-Hicks and they started to argue, police said.
Pixley began to get closer, and a crowd gathered. That's when King-Hicks heard Jarrett order the other women to "get her," according to the police report. Stevens then "came out of nowhere" and punched King-Hicks in the face, the police report said.
She fell to the ground and was repeatedly kicked and stomped by Jarrett, Pixley and Stevens until help arrived, the police report said.  http://washingtonexaminer.com/d.c.-principal-accused-in-parking-lot-beat-down/article/2513569#.UKW0bWc8VXs
It's not a good sign when your high school principal acts just as thuggish as some of the gang thugs in the school.  Yep, "Get her, bitch" is not the way you want your high school principal to behave.

  1. I attend this school and I think Principal Jarrett should be convicted guilty because it seems like her. I hope our school is fine and better without her. My friend that was there said that she indeed did fight instead off "breaking it up" like Terry Goings says according to the express newspaper.
