Because they're not filming it so they can go to admin and show them who started the fight, etc. They're filming it to have a viral video on social media (and kids are also fighting to have their fight recorded and going viral on social media).

Thanks
I get that is likely the motivation but it also seems like the admin should have nothing to hide?
On the other hand if it starts more fights that's a diff story

There are pros and cons of both. Bubbles can be protective and also stunting. Being treated like a valued consumer can be a pleasant experience and also happen at the expense of daily learning about the real world at an important time in life. If you can afford private that's great, and you don't need to deal with these things.

Just looked at the dcum private school forum. The first post is this:

Older DC is a senior and it’s been a long drama-filled journey. Second DC still has several years to graduation and I’m just so tired of all the mean girl behavior.

How do I comfort her and assure her that she’s safe? (I know that this sounds INSANE but if your child goes to B-CC, they’ll confirm it’s true!)

Have you taught your daughter how to cope without resorting to violence? How to de-escalate conflict? How to avoid riff raff?
Sounds like a parent to g problem

not OP but it would be SO amazing if parents could teach their kids, even a little bit, to not be sadistic, right?
