I completely agree with you! Things could have gotten much worse then what it actually did! It’s crazy to think that no one saw it or heard it while it was going on.

I agree that this is something that you would not think possible. It’s hard to even respond because of how ridiculous and irresponsible it is.

I totally agree that through the illegal behavior to get close to the students is not a wise way. There are many ways for teacher to know and be friends with students, but not in this way

I agree that the idea of fight club is cool. However, no responsible adult would allow a fight club to occur. They would probably call police or child services

I agree with Mary that teachers shouldn't have to be told not to have a fight club in the school. It was very ridiculous and should  be common sense.

I agree with everything you said. This substitute should have known better than this and co workers should have caught on to what was happening before social work was called in. This situation was just handled badly.

I agree. Students need to be taught to peacefully and healthily resolve issues and blow off steam.

I agree that It is very surprising that this behavior was not caught sooner. Someone should have reported it when it started happening

He stated “I didn’t have the training to see what was going on” yet counted down to start the “match.” This is truly just disgusting. I mean yes, boys will be boys but letting them fight in school is a no go. If you want to reach the kids, talk about something they like or that interest them. Don’t start a fight club so others can get beat up because of issues between two of them.

I agree that this is ridiculous. Fighting in school in any way should never even be brought up. There are many ways to give students an out but fighting should not be one of them.

What a horrible teacher! What he did to students already beyond the moral of a teacher, he was be illegal in his career, and that shouldn't happen in the school. The fight club can't exist in the school, a place to educate and kids grow up

Reading this article was crazy because I just don't expect these things to happen in real life. I understand wanting to get close to the kids and having them trust you, but breaking the law and doing illegal things is the wrong way to go about it. The school should have reported things because how did they not notice bloody and bruised kids everyday? There should have also been a better background check especially if the teacher had PTSD. I think this situation was handles incorrectly from the get go.

What can you say about cases like these other than it is horrible. I would like to think this kind of behavior would be caught earlier by someone in the school, but it is clear this went on far too long. This story is tragic, not only for the students involved, but the profession itself. I wouldn’t blame parents and students for not feeling safe in a system that did not catch this sooner.

There are many things that could have gone wrong in the fights and could have caused a bigger problem. I think its crazy that there was actually a substitute teacher that got involved in this. The teacher should have known that it was wrong and it shouldn't have started in the first place.

Their was a fight club at the elementary school I attended. It was not teacher sponsored like this. The kids would ask to go to the bathroom at certain times, and then they would Duke it out in the bathroom. The school was highly underfunded and poorly managed.

This is crazy. I would think it would just be common sense to not allow fighting in school, and the way he tries to justify it by saying “he was trying to give them an out” is just ridiculous. Teachers shouldn’t have to be told to not have a fight club in the school, they should just already know.

A fight club in high school could pose a variety of threats to students. It is against the law because it may put a student at risk of injury. If a fight club is important to a student, they can have it in their own time but the school shall never give attention to or promote said fight club.

While a fight club in high school would be really awesome, according to the law it is probably not a good idea to have the school sponsor it. Perhaps let the kids have their own fight club on their own time
