Schools should consider installing a UFC octagon. That way, when a fight breaks out, students can settle their disputes in the octagon.
Parents wouldn’t be able to sue if someone gets hurt, making it a truly free-for-all situation.
Plus, teachers might want to adopt some hockey rules for handling fights: wait for a break in the action before stepping in to break it up.
Feeling pretty overwhelmed right now! The sophomore slump is definitely hitting hard, and my addiction to R6 Siege isn’t making things any easier (and I’m still stuck in copper).

Fighting is not a constructive way to resolve conflicts, and promoting violence—even in a controlled environment—doesn’t teach students how to handle disagreements peacefully.
Instead, schools should focus on teaching conflict resolution skills and promoting dialogue. Encouraging students to talk things out or seek help from a teacher or counselor can lead to healthier outcomes. Plus, safety should always be a top priority in schools, and allowing fights to happen—even in an octagon—could create an environment of fear rather than one of learning.

Let’s brainstorm ways to teach kids how to communicate and work through their differences without resorting to violence!
