Sometimes, Fists Fly at Chuck E. Cheese's
Many times I find myself fighting a battle with students regarding the use or show of violence to solve problems. I often propose humanity and morality themes within the texts I teach. Why shouldn't I? High school literature lends itself to this type of dialogue. Often, students find nothing wrong with swinging a fist rather than rationalizing the consequence. Scary, right?
Then, articles like this appear. The irony is obvious I hope. I can only hope my students see the absurdity.

Hello Mr. A! Tis Sierra from first period! I was looking at my friend's blogs from your creative writing class and was looking at yours as well. I read the article and yes, I see the irony. It is ridiculous that adults end up fighting like that. It makes me wonder why some people complain so much about kids and their behavior, when adults can be the exact same.
