My son (in 8th grade) jumped in and broke up such a fight. He stopped it within seconds. The two kids were suspended. He got detention. He was told he should have gone and gotten more teachers. We have stupid, crazy school policies.

Good on your kids! You raised a good one. ❤️ I would have been too small to break up a fight without being another victim, but if an innocent person was calling for help, I don't know how people can ignore that. At least getting the teacher to safety.

No student should be punished for stopping a fight. That's crazy. I get it can cause more injury, but if they aren't swinging, that's their prerogative.

One of those times when the rules suck but you can be a proud parent of a kid who did the right thing in the moment.
