Students Attack Teacher Over Confiscated iPod


A Germantown (PA) High School teacher suffered a broken neck Friday during a scuffle with students over a prohibited iPod. The attack happened when 60 year old math teacher Frank Burd took an iPod from a 11th grade member of his class. After class, the 17-year-old student and a 15-year-old freshman then assaulted the teacher in the hallway, knocking him to the ground. The teacher was pushed over to the ground, suffering a gash on his face and two broken bones in his neck according to Paul Vallas, School District of Philadelphia CEO.

The two teens have been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, and reckless endangerment. So far, the two are being charged as juveniles but that could change depending upon a decision by the District Attorney.

What would have happened if the teacher had tried to take their Legos?
