Rule 16: Fighting
Wrestling, hitting, or kicking is considered “fighting” which is not allowed. If a child hits or kicks another child
while on school grounds, buses, or at school sponsored activities, the child who is hit is instructed to find the teacher on
duty or the bus driver and report the incident immediately or as soon as the bus is stopped. Hitting or kicking back puts
the blame on both the children. Therefore, they are equally guilty of fighting. Blind-siding another student during a
fight will increase the level of punishment.
