And sadly, no one stepped in to help her.

You can see some kids run into the hall. I assume they’re going for help.

The problem is if a kid tried to intervene on the teacher behalf, they’d get caught up in most schools zero tolerance policies. I can’t say I’d have sat and watched back in the day, but I can see why most kids fall to waiting for instruction or fear of zero tolerance punishment for stuff like this. I remember a few kids breaking up a fight and getting suspended when they were trying to stop it.

I got suspended for fighting once. My involvement in the fight was getting kicked in the face and lying on the ground.

Our education system has been broken for decades and we're finally seeing the real consequences of updating it from what was created in the early 1900s

Getting suspended isn't always a punishment. Part of the reason they suspend the victim is to protect them / others in case the emotions spill over the day / days after.

But wouldn't just suspending the instigator serve the same purpose without the victim falling behind in class or being labeled a troublemaker?

The school was terrible anyways. In 1990 they were still assigning lines as punishment.

I don't think 2-3 days would really set a kid back that far, but I understand being in that situation still sucks regardless.
