School Fight Policy

It recently came to my attention that my school has a questionable policy on fights. It states that whoever is in a physically hostile situation can NOT fight back and will be punished equally to or above the antagonist. I feel this is not only an error on part of the administration, but also a violation of my right to defend myself. This occured to me when one of my best friends was sent to Juvenile Court for defending himself against two males who attacked him in the hallway. He laid one of their asses out, but then got bitch punched from behind. According to my school you can only (and this is not the official statement) run like a pussy and tell a teacher. I could go on for days about how this is a load of hot bullshit, but I have a headache.


Discuss.

You're right, it does violate your human rights. But it also instills good morals and values (on paper, anyway), which is why it's kept. The policy seems to be the same for most schools. You can NOT be charged in court for defending yourself. You can, however, be suspended or expelled from school.

Depends what you mean by 'Fight Back'. Its really ify because if he is punching the living hell out of you, then you grab a knife and slit his throat. Thats more of murder when all it takes is a couple of cuts to get him off.

Indeed it is stupid. You get suspended for the semester if you get into a fight at my high school. I don't give a fuck, I wouldn't let someone hit me and run away to keep myself safe from getting expelled. However, it's the part where you are suspended for the WHOLE semester (or 2 weeks suspension and 30 days of intervention) or some crap that keeps people from getting into fights.

We have the same policy at our school, but whens shit goes down we have on campus police force ready to step in

Idk about my school but I've never been in a fight so I don't care.

If you throw one punch you're in the same boat as your attacker.

the only thing this policy does is enable kids that have nothing to loose be in charge of kids that have something to loose. because they could try and start the fight knowing full well that the other guys going to look like a pussy because he doesnt want to get set to the office all this does is make kids (not my self im talking about thoughs goths chinks and spics ) want to get a gun and kill people and run rather then just fight him and go to like a detention or a saterday school

fucking society is trying hard as fuck to make there schools get lower fight numbers and make them look good, rather then trying to defuse the problem, by teaching kids how to deal with there problems in a responsible and adult way


HJOW DO I KNOOOOOW THIS?>-nigga i watch the disney channel Si, se puede gotta kick it up

Well, my school has no rules about fighting that anyone would obey (at least to the full extent), and there are always some people who don't care if they get in trouble - they just wanna prove their physical superiority. You cannot teach these kids to "deal with there problems in a responsible and adult way". You can try at your own risk.

if u fight at my school u get a suspension or sometimes (rarly) u get arrested :/
