I had to stand between two students today to break off their fight. They were swearing at each other and slapping each other in the face. They were reaching around me and kicking around my legs. It lasted for almost the entire period, broken up by brief breaks where they'd sit down and just cuss each other with foul language. One was about twice the weight of the other, and just used it to his advantage. The smaller one never backed down.

It was frikken scary and they did hurt me by trying to bypass my arms and legs and it shocked me.

I used to get into a lot of fights as a kid and ended up hurting the staff now and then. Karate helped me solve my anger issues tho, so you might suggest some sports/activityto the parents of these kids :P

Either way you did what you were supposed to do, which isn't always easy ;)
Thank you Byron for 2014's loudest laugh up till today

Parents of those kids are the reason why they're fighting. Lots of clan issues. Another teacher told me I should have let them take it outside. Was informed that the bigger boy had full-on punched another female teacher last year. I'm not a violent person and I've only ever been hit by my sister and parents, so any form of pain for me is a huge shock to my system.

Definitely wasn't easy! They're only kids, but yeah, still scary :P

When there were fights in my high school (and there were, because I went to the ****ty high school in town), they'd just call for a security guard to come deal with it .-. It was never a teacher's job to deal with a fight other than to keep it from getting worse until someone who was trained to deal with such things could get there.

If calling someone in the school didn't improve the situation, they'd just call the police and the police would deal with it.

At my high school if you got into a fight like this you were pretty much out. Never seen one happen. In elementary school however there were a few that I witnessed.

^That sounds frustrating. I guess the system exists to stop people coming to the country without the means/intention to support them, which is fair enough. Do any of Nick's qualifications count towards making him a more desirable immigrant? Or does the form not really count for that and only analyses your income? I hope it all goes well for you two with that road-bump
It's basically that he has to prove he won't become a burden to the state. Would be really great if they didn't charge $1400+ in filing fees for the paperwork involved though. His qualifications really don't mean anything at all, since he can't apply to be able to work until we are married (US immigration laws, folks). It's silly because my income would be enough for him to sponsor me to come to NL, but the US doesn't list the income they expect from me and they expect a lot of money for the process. I could be required to make something like $15,000/year, but if I use my average weekly hours worked to calculate an approximation I make more like $13,000/year.

I went to the largest high school in SD and it was also the bad high school of the two in my hometown. Both of the public high schools in my town had security guards (can't say anything about the private high school, but it probably did too). Fights were usually dealt with by calling the police, but the security guards would usually keep them broken up while the police were getting there.

Prior to working at my new school, I rarely saw fights at all. At this school fighting is called "gamin fighting" which is meant to be play fighting. But it really isn't. There is anger behind the slaps and taps. I saw a kid pick up another kid and grind the back of his head into some shelves. The kid getting beat was laughing and joking around, but I could tell he was in pain. It was just dead awful. As a teacher we have duty of care, but another teacher was telling me if I got critically injured, I'd just be another statistic. It's scary.

Amanda - I assume you've already considered all options, but could one of you get a working visa instead and work in the country for some time to demonstrate willingness to not be a burden?

Getting a work visa in the US takes way more time. I think the whole thing is stupid, but the fastest way to get someone into the US and have them be able to stay legally for an extended period of time is to marry them.
