I would imagine these kinds of policies are pretty much the norm across most public school districts in this country.
That makes sense considering most things in government indoctrination centers fail. I have admit, I have a tolerance for kids fighting. It’s the way you stop bullies. But in this case, it was three on one, and call me a sexist, it was a girl. I don’t have a tolerance for girls fighting.
I had my share of scrapes in school with the last one with me definitively ending a fight when I was attacked. I was never bothered after that. The vice principal who was in charge of discipline handled the situation correctly in my estimation. I was told to go home and change my clothes because there was blood all over them and to return to school. The other guy was suspended for two weeks. One other thing, two gym teachers saw the entire episode. They stood there and watched as I wailed on his face while in a headlock. I was also asking the gym teachers to break up the fight. They let it go on just long enough that the kid learned his lesson and I earned a reputation. I never had a fight after that.
