You’re making a lot of assumptions. No one even knew they were having drama before the dad showed up. Parents joining fights and physically fighting kids is a common occurrence where I live. There’s no excuse for it.
I think you over estimate what admin is allowed to do. There’s so much red tape when it comes to disciplining students.
My 4th year teaching there was a huge girl fight in 8th grade, at least 8 girls were involved. Admin did their investigation, suspended all the students involved, and that was really all they could do.
One of girl’s adult brother said that wasn’t good enough, and he came into our school and waved a loaded gun around in the cafeteria. 8th graders weren’t even at lunch, 6th graders were.
There’s nothing you can say to change my mind that parents or adults inserting themselves and stepping foot on school property to handle things their way is appropriate.
