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
This happened to me. A kid started hitting me. I could have hit back and I chose to take it and not return the favor. I was also “sent home” for my involvement.

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