We Put It All Down on Technology and Lost Everything We Invested

I'm not sure if this what you might call a "hands, ahem, gloves off" educational style, but I'm guessing that the decision by South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas to adopt UFC-approved dispute resolution methods is not going to meet universal acclaim.

The principal and other staff members at South Oak Cliff High School were supposed to be breaking up fights. Instead, they sent troubled students into a steel utility cage in an athletic locker room to battle it out with bare fists and no head protection, records show. Documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News say the "cage fights" took place between 2003 and 2005.

Think of what the world of high school conflict might be like if this family were still meting out their own brand of justice in the hallways of each, and every, school in Anytown, U.S.A.

Many thanks to Mr. Ryan Searcey for sending the story my way.
