[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can uninvolved kids manage to stay out of the fray?[/quote]

No because many of the halls are so narrow they get caught[/quote]

Is this true? This sounds terrible. My kid who’s at Hardy claims the fights are only between the kids who like to fight and seems pretty unbothered by them.

But I hope this is an exaggeration regarding Deal.  [/quote]

I think so.  My 8th grader has never been touched by a fight. I'm not saying others haven't been jostled or worse - I don't know.  But my kid has without trying has "managed to stay out of the fray."

my post was missing a crucial "don't."  I [b]don't[/b] think it's true that kids can't stay out of the way of the fights.  Mine has without trying.  But I agree the school has discipline issues. There seems to be a lot of skipping class going on. Kids skip and go to classes where there is a substitute or to gym class where they can blend in with friends.  Or they roam the halls avoiding adults.  It shocks me a bit that this is a regular occurrence in middle school by a subset of kids. [/quote]
