There is similar abuse in a school in northern California called Tobins World. Teachers/staff sit on the students, or have other students hold a student while other students are encouraged to beat the crap out of them. The school goes out of its way to ensure that no students have cellphone cameras to film any of this. Sometimes they sneak one in and a token teacher will be "fired" but not really. That school has produced a lot of dangerous gang members. It is argued some of the kids were destined for that anyway. Who knows. I'd wager there is truth in both statements and many of the kids had bad parents. It doesn't really make the environment they are put in justifiable or productive for anyone outside of the private prison systems.

I am curious how many schools like this exist.
