A bad driver is OK until he meets another bad driver. Isn’t that from Great Gatsby?
Today, one of my bad drivers, LJ, ran into another bad driver, Alice (the one who isn’t in my class but comes anyway). I’m not sure what happened. After lunch I was helping a student open her jammed locker. Suddenly, there were screams and pushing. I ran over and saw that two guys had LJ sandwiched against the wall. They were yelling at him and threatening him. I pulled him free. Everyone was crowding around and shouting. Guys were telling LJ not to hit a girl. Girls were encouraging him. It was absolute chaos. I got him out of the hallway and asked him what happened. Apparently, Alice hit LJ so he punched her back. I took him to the office. Half an hour later he was back in class.
I watched him after class in the hallway because I thought he might get jumped. Alice was back too. As LJ walked down the hall, Malcolm grabbed him. Malcolm put an arm around LJ's shoulder and had an intense conversation with him. From what I could overhear, Malcolm was telling LJ to never punch girls. Whatever he said, it probably had much more of an impact than whatever the principal said.
I’m disappointed that LJ and Alice weren’t immediately sent home from school. These things have a way of escalating. The kids were crazy afterward. Everyone was talking about what had happened. When LJ came back to class everyone wanted to talk about it again with him. We really need to have a zero tolerance for violence policy in our school because in a lot of ways the kids reward each other for fighting. LJ left school today with each arm around a different girl.
