I get it. I was lucky. A little blood on the floor is the worst it ever got. Broken noses heal fast all things considered. But I think the lack of a present adult contributed here.
And that blood on the floor was because of lack of adult? Or because the two kids wanted to fight? Or because the kid fought the adult?
I worked in schools and have seen first hand the kids that didn't stop no matter the adults present and had to be restrained and cuffed by officers after attacking an adult.
All three. A lot of fights start because an adult isn't around. A lot of fights start because the two kids were just going to fight regardless. I've also seen a student stand up, walk across the room, and hit the teacher. I took a few punches breaking up some fights over the years. I only think one of those students actually hit me on purpose. The rest were already fighting and when you physically intervene to break up the fight, you need to know you might take at least one punch. They cover it all in the class you take. We both worked in public schools. We know how it can be.
In thirteen years, I took one pocket knife off a student in my classroom (without incident), one pocket knife from a student in the cafeteria (without incident), and was involved in the team that took a gun off a student in the hallway (without incident, but it did involve a handcuffing).
I get it. Kids do stupid things, but I still think if an adult had been in that tent, this probably would not have happened.
