Do school kids still have fights after school?

I am 46 years old, and when I was a boy in

7th and 8th grade there were fights after school nearly every day. Usually the fights

were held behind the church or behind the

concession stand. Everybody in the school

knew about the fight by the end of the school

day, and of course a lot of kids showed up to see it. I am wondering if it is the same

type of environment exists in schools today.

I grew up in the Midwest for point of reference.

Short answer yes.

I teach in a large urban district in the Midwest. There are schools here that have fights nearly everyday in school, in the classroom, after school, and on city buses. And then to top it off, with the new technology(cell phones, texting), students would get others involved. Maybe that doesn’t seem so bad, but some of them are calling parents and they come to school to finish up the fights! Hmmmm, wonder where the kids get the ideas?

Of course. That is never going to change. the only thing that has changes is the intensity. now these kids have access to guns, and gangs and all sorts of things they can conjure up.

I surely hope this is not happening anymore. I have 6 year old son and would not want to see him get hurt or hurting anybody.

Not here.. if someone gets in a fight, it’s right there in the hallway right when they get mad. they certainly don’t wait.
