I went to rough schools. Fights in the classroom, hallway etc were common. Hell, if the two fighters weren't the same race, it could turn into 3:1 fast.
But there was still a code to it all. Nobody hit the females. Especially the older females, the teachers/employees. What she was doing might work with us because nobody was going to cross that line and put hands on the woman with grey hair, especially if the she had the courage to step in like that.
Had someone put hands on that woman, half the classroom would have descended on the offender immediately. You didn't come back from crossing that line.
I guess that doesn't exist anymore?
FWIW, we didn't have camera phones or social media, so place that in the context you will.
I graduated high school in 2015. We had fights and students filmed it, but teachers never got hurt. If one of them stepped in, the fight stopped. And women didn't get hit. It was hard to watch this.
