When I was in middle school I got into at least two fights in an outdoor stage that was in plain view from all the windows in the admin office. No security, teachers, or anyone else ever noticed.
I'd like to think it was more because they were these small fights where no one got seriously hurt, rather than the staff not caring at all.
I got in a few fights in highschool., each time I was defending myself and each time both parties got suspended. I mean I got my hits in, I was heavy into martial arts so some kids always wanted to test me. Now, I had to pull my son out of public school because of bullying. I have to worry about his mental state, it just feels different.. for me it was kind of fun to fight, nowadays it feels like a kid might show up the next day with a knife or a gun.
I've been in education for a few years and can tell you that a lot (most?) of teachers are cheering on the inside when they see a bully get his ass beat. These school policies aren't being set by teachers.
Let's hope Steven sets things right 😊🙏
Their geopolitics is the same. Fucking shithole nation.
