GWENNA BOWERS was thinking about OCR and keyed into cyberspace:

Nice rule. Rarely enforced, IMNSHO. In any altercation between kids, 
there are extremely rare times when all the blame goes to only one. In 
my home, when the two boys start going at each other, both get punished. 
One for starting, the other for not stopping. When I explained this 
concept to the principal, she looked at me with the most uncomprehending 
expression I have ever seen. 
I then said, "Yes, Dr. Smith, there is a responsibility to end a 
situation." She could not understand how I could think that.
