Yes. And by the way the hallways are pretty big so I don’t understand the comment about the narrow hallways and kids inevitably “getting jostled”
My 8th grader knew there’d be a fight because things had gotten spicy on the playground earlier in the day, although according to DC it was girls who were pushing and shoving on the playground. DC decided to just go to the bus stop and NOT watch the fight and was concerned mainly with getting the video of the fight from friends who chose to stay and watch. So yes, you can choose to stay out of the fray.
The only reason I even knew about a fight was because after I saw these posts I asked DC about it and they sat and told me all the details. I later saw the video and it was pretty sad and alarming. A typical fight where someone got jumped, although the victim seemed to walk back to the perps to restart things even after the first part ended.
The hallway by the gym is really narrow.
one hallway by the gym does not equal “the hallways are really narrow” and kids are “always getting jostled”. class changed for my 8th grader happen in the 8th grade wing and floor and those hallways are not narrow, ditto the other grades.
The fight video is disturbing, absolutely, as they all are. I could not watch the entire thing. But one shouldn’t exaggerate.
All the videos? All of them. Right. One really doesn’t need to exaggerate when there are so many of them.

Where was your kid in 7th grade? Have you ever tried the stairs during a class change?

Those videos are so disturbing. They are one of the main reasons our kids are no longer in DCPS.
And good riddance to you Karen
DP: What is the point of your comment here? And why Karen? Doesn't seem to fit.

And when 1400 kids are simultaneously changing classes, all the hallways feel narrow. There are adults at every corner yelling at kids the whole time.

I wouldn't say a typical fight is someone getting jumped. A typical fight is two people. Or maybe a group vs. a group. What is described here, where a group jumps on one kid, is bullying at its very worst. The parents should sue the school.

It's all going to get a lot worse if the city has to cut at schools because congress steals $1.1 billion of our tax dollars. Schools, cops, trash collection... put the anger and frustration you're feeling toward making sure it doesn't get a hell of a lot worse in a few weeks

Deal fights are nothing. There were easily 12 fights at Cardozo today. One last week was a gang fight of 20 students and the principal only suspended 5 kids! Hes the worst. Just be lucky you all have Ms. Neal instead of the Bozo from Dozo.
At least somebody got suspended. JFC WTF
Why do I have the feeling that the entire system is a house of cards regarding behavior issues? At some point the information dam is going to break.
