Covering the business of education and training

I used to do this all the time...ask somebody to help me wheel the television into the classroom.

If a student was particularly desperate for some brownie points, he could bring the television AND take it back.

A little 9-year old boy was up in front of the classroom helping his teacher move a TV cart when the 27-inch television came loose and crashed onto his head.

A Cook County jury awarded the boy and his family $19 million for the permanent brain injuries he sustained.

The verdict went against the Archdiocese of Chicago, which operates the school.

Mariano suffered severe brain injuries, and part of his skull had to be removed to reduce swelling.

He was almost three months in two hospitals before being able to come home to his parents, little brother and sister.

Now 13, he still learns at a 3rd-grade level.

But, tell me, now do you put a value on a brain?

And, how much did the lawyers get?
