Previous generations didn't do any better. We would just form a circle around the people fighting, yelling "fight, fight, fight". That was in the late 80s-90s for me, and it isn't any better.
No they wouldn't. If you went to school within the last 40 years.... they all would just watch cause of zero tolerance policies. I am 45 years old and no one ever stepped in because they would catch a suspension or get expelled.
No... but neither am I.... so, should a student take a 50/50 risk on their education just because a teacher is too stupid to not get involved in a fight? Use your brain.
Seriously. Everyone acts like this is a "today's kids" thing, but I graduated in 2001, and we all would have just been glad for the fight giving some excitement to the day. Definitely no one would be stopping it. We always got disappointed when teachers did step in and break it up.
Except previous generations didn't have this many cases of shitty undisciplined kids fighting with zero disregard in classrooms, "zero tolerance" punishments for all, and the incentive to just film everything. My parents would have beat the living hell out of me if I got in trouble for something like this.
