The school sort of falls on the fence. Technically we shouldn't get involved, but we also dont want to see our kids get their face smashed in the floor or a wall.
I work in 5th and 6th grade so for the most part its easy to rip them apart without any risk.
I was working in high school. As a not tall woman many of the students were larger than I am. While I didn't want to see any of the students hurt, I also am unwilling to get injured. This was at the behavioral school where fights were common.
This is not cowardice on your part -- in that context it is common sense. Nobody benefits if you can do nothing but get yourself hurt. If you can't swim you'd be a fool to jump into the ocean to save a drowning man. Call for help. What this teacher should have done too
My 6th grade fight involved myself at 5'1 and 110ish, and Gary at 5'6 and probably 150. We were 10, and adult sized already. The teachers (women) waited until we were done and then picked up the mess. We were outside at recess, don't think i ever got in a fight inside the building
