I'm not sure if I mentioned that two of my students got into a fist fight during an indoor recess last week. Sure enough, there was another one during dismissal. This was the explanation one boy gave about throwing the first punch:
Me: So, why did you punch him?
Boy: I didn't think in my mind that I was going to punch him. It doesn't work like that Ms. F.
Me: How does it work?
Boy: You think I'm really mad...so mad that I'm about to explode. Then, you put your fist out. If that other person's eye happens to be there, then it's not my problem. It's more of an accident.
Umm...nice try! Actually, it is your problem. The poor kid really thought that would somehow get him out of trouble.
