I worked at a middle school in an expensive DC suburb (Virginia) recently. These brawls were everyday occurrences. Security would break them up again and again, and kids would walk down the hall crying or bloody. Rarely did anyone get in trouble. Shocking, actually.

It's been adding to the death spiral of public academia for the last 2 decades. There's zero disciplinary accountability. There's hardly any academic accountability. Teachers hands are tied by 6 figure administrators.

A high school diploma can mean anything between an AP student and an illiterate felon who's behavior has been swept under the rug for their entire life.
