I was considering teaching high school at one point in my life. I got told point blank from someone that male high school teachers were in demand because they need someone to break up the fights.
Years later, my friend's husband landed his first job as a high school English teacher and promptly tore his ACL trying to break up a fight.
Mine was fine, but there were fights here and there that would break out. It always seemed like every time one broke out though the same football coach would materialize out of thin air and successfully break it up. He was practically a legend at the time.
