"Contest Day"

 In the 2010-11 school year a school reported 22 fights so far. The previous year, the same school reported 18 fights. In response to the escalating fights, the school district hired the Teen Conflict Resolution Team to help students solve disagreements through non-violent solutions. 
 Mr. brown has been a teacher at the school for 13 years and has seen many fights. “Students have to learn how to solve life’s problems without violence, and this program will teach our students just that,” said Mr. Brown.
 After March 23, any student caught fighting on campus must complete a TCRT non-violence workshop, in addition to normal disciplinary actions.“One of my friends got in a fight, but he didn’t start it. He was defending himself,” said freshman Andy Opel. “Now students will get suspended and be forced to attend this program. That's just too much."
