A shitty educational experience

Ah, Toronto public schools. Where else does the term "shitty education" get so literal?

A suspended Toronto elementary school principal has pleaded guilty to throwing feces (excrement) on a child.

Maria Pantalone, 49, was charged with two counts of assault — one against that child and one against another — but only admitted to one of the charges today.

"I couldn’t take it any more," she testified, in describing the provocative circumstances leading up to the incident last June 30.

But she agreed it wasn't in any way justified.

H/T to Hit and Run.
