Fight!

[cathschaffstump]

We just had a fight here at Kirkwood. Most of the teachers froze like deer in headlights.

Capable Paul came in and had capable Lorna call security. I responded with my high school teacher roots, and went to find the combatants to break them up.

Which, in retrospect, wasn't very smart, and has never been very smart, but high schools often use teachers as human shields.

Anyway, the fight broke up as Paul and I got there. No one was hurt. The combatants scattered. That makes security a precautionary measure in case someone gets hurt.

It is, interestingly enough, a sign of change at community colleges. Disciplinary issues have been surfacing in our classes for a number of years, but in the 11 years I've been here, I've never seen a hall fight.

Carry on.
