My son is a freshman at a public high school. He has seen two fights, both between girls, this year. To the school’s credit, they were broken up within a minute by teachers. Some people just want to be transferred to continuation school or expelled, I guess. I’m sorry this happened, but I guess he needs to see what some people are really like, especially since he has been considering going into law enforcement.
And in all seriousness, that's one advantage of going to a public school. You gain valuable experience - daily experience - dealing with all sorts of people.
I also taught for a few years at a private school. Great kids there, but I was amazed at how little they knew about people outside of their own group.
Of course, there are also advantages of going to a private school. I'll leave that for another thread.

Oh, to be a free market again, where SERVICES are paid by the USER(s).
Crap like this would be a one-hit-wonder (no pun intended) as those that disrupt the education of regularly paying students would be out on their @SS to find another willing servicer; otherwise, it starts effecting the bottom-line as the students go elsewhere.
Damn pipe-dream, I know.
