Bum fights revisited on a school bus.
Me too, but that’s pretty much the way they settle things out Riverside way.
First rule of bus fight club...
That’s pretty much how it was done when I was in school, the Coach would stand back and let the boys go at it, until one was on the ground or obviously losing, then he would step in and break it up.
A school bus driver in our neighborhood got into substantial trouble when some middle school boys successfully goaded her into showing them her nipple rings.
(response from the school was “you will never see her on your child’s route again”. Translation: “we’ve transferred her and made her some other parents’ problem, since her union won’t let us fire her”.)
Seems like a reasonable response. I guess it depends on how big the kids were, etc. Back in my day, it wasn’t uncommon to let a couple kids go at it, and tire themselves out, before sending them to the office for a few swats.
I know of an inner-city public school in which the children show up after the weekend with black eyes and bruises all over.
When asked how they got bruised, they enthusiastically answer “Fight Club!”
“What’s Fight Club?”
“That’s where Daddy takes me to fight with other Third Graders. If I win, Daddy gets all the money.”
Yes, it’s been reported to CPS, and has gone underground. The kids still show up bruised, but they keep their mouths shut.
I agree. More info needed.
If this was clearly a bigger kid pummeling a smaller, meeker one, it should have been stopped. If it was an evenly matched scuffle, I agree w. the driver not stopping it. This nanny state business has to stop!
