What, if Anything, Can Be Done to Eliminate Fights in Inner-City Schools?
Question by Calliegirl: What, if anything, can be done to eliminate fights in inner-city schools?
I teach at a public high school in Milwaukee that is composed of 90% African American students. Many have already been incarcerated, already have children, and already use drugs and alcohol. Many of their parents are in the same situation. The reasons they fight usually stem from something small: a piece of paper hits them, they want the window closed and someone else wants it open. Does anyone have any experience to offer me to reduce or eliminate fights in schools? Incidentally, my husband fought in Iraq, and the behavior of the disgruntled citizens labeled “terrorists” sounds eerily familiar to my students’ rash decisions and actions.

Maybe I’m a little partial since I was born and raised here! I’ve put together just a handful of the thousands of photographs I took then. Milwaukee’s harbor and railroad yards always fascinated me. At the time many of these pictures would not have been very interesting to most people. It’s interesting how we look back years later when things are gone, longing to be able to “go back” for just …
