You have to remember the goal of the school: To avoid a lawsuit.
If they tell a kid to fight back, they are opening themselves up for trouble. Their best option is to tell everyone to stop fighting, and hope the problem goes away.

- mikeash 10y agoIf my child regularly sustained serious injuries at home, Child Protective Services would eventually stop accepting my failure to supervise her as an excuse. Schools should not be allowed to get away with it. This problem can be solved. The trouble is that it probably requires money, which taxpayers really hate to provide.
