Should a teacher intervene during a classroom fist fight? I say Hell Naw!
Video taken inside a Seagoville classroom documents a student brawl and shows the teacher looking on.
Dallas ISD is currently investigating the incident , and that it has taken disciplinary action against the student who started it.
But the math teacher is getting support from his union.
“Teachers have intervened in the past,” acknowledged Rena Honea of Alliance/AFT. “They have been injured. They have not been able to return to work. They have been
reprimanded for intervening. So there is a huge question mark as to what’s truly appropriate.”
Here go the problem, nowadays kids are bringing weapons into the school, they are not scared of teachers or other authorities and now teachers have turned into security guards rather than teachers. Their lives are at risk in my opinikon. Its too much stuff that could go wrong tryin to break up a fight.
Let me go further, if I taught I probably would break it up but I agree with teachers who decide to step back. Its a crazy world we live in.

I wonder if Mike Tyson was the teacher do you think his class would fight?
