Then the crew dives into the topic every educator has witnessed, feared, or had to respond to at least once: student fights. From the eerie quiet right before it pops off, to the hallway "school of fish" swarm that tells you something is about to go down, to why breaking up fights is a lose-lose situation for teachers who have zero training but all the liability. They share stories from middle school to high school, the difference between "windmill fighting" and real damage, and the wild reality of parents asking, "Did my kid win?"
And just when you think it can't get more ridiculous, Albraden tells the story of a preschool "gang" (yes, really) called the Knee-High Killers and the moment he realized they were trying to jump a kid in at recess. The episode wraps with a real conversation about emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and how phones, texts, and social media have changed the way students handle tension (and how teachers are left managing the fallout).
