Fairmount school was in the news again today because of the terrible

of some students. Education inspectors who

the middle school were horrified to find total chaos. One inspector commented, "I

into one classroom and found the kids eating snacks,

paper airplanes and

ball, even

their friends. And this was while the

was in the room! Who knows what happens when the students are left alone." As a result, inspectors have recommended that the teachers at Fairmount

attend a course in police control tactics.

·In 2007, the school

20,000 dollars to paint over graffiti.

·In 2008, a football game against local rivals, Grange Hill, turned into mass riot.

·In 2009, three students were
