Do you think your kid could command him-/herself if he or she is fighting with a condisciple relentlessly and a supervisory warns them to break it up from one floor up?
Was there such a situation perhaps with your children?
If not what would you expect from school in case your son or daughter is involved in a scuffle and break supervisory put an end to it referred to
- method of intervention (verbally/physically),
- consequences
- necessity of notification to you as parent legal guardian ?
Um, what? Fighting is prohibited in schools, and that's all my kids needed to know. There's no reason to battle, there are plenty of adults around to step in in that environment.

Well done if all kids behave in an exemplary manner at the school of your kids!

Thanks for your statements!
I had to look up condisciple and I see it just means another student in the same school.
Fighting is prohibited in all schools in the US. Of course, sometimes students don't obey the rules.
What to do does also depend on the age of the students involved. Both my grandchildren will be in high school next year so this is for teenagers.
Depending on the situation, the school personnel at my grandchildren's school will:
1. go toward the scene of the fight.
2. verbally use a strong voice to tell the students to stop and let them know what the consequences are if they do not stop.
3. Look to see if there are any weapons present.
4. send other adults to get help.
5. Tell any of the students who are watching to leave the area.
6. If necessary, call the school resource officer or the administrators who are authorized to break up fights physically.
7. (Forgot this one) Notify the legal guardians and perhaps have a conference with the student and the guardians.

I thought I'd let you know that this is entirely too vague and your verbage is fairly alienating to easy discussion. Can you rephrase in a way that sounds more natural to us commoners and be more specific?

Pretty much same for my son’s school. Different order, though. They have a standard protocol they follow and have behavioral aids that will come if free who are trained to deescilate the situation.
Then they talk to the students involved, sometimes “witnesses”. Parents get called in and (usually) the students who were physical will be suspended (they also have a protocol with that).

I'm trying to understand what the heck the intention is behind asking this...
Are you asking us if we think our kids could "handle themselves" in an old-fashioned schoolyard fight? Are you hoping that many parents have kids who have been, so you can feel better that yours did? Are you wanting to complain about how the school didn't let you know and also complaining how they did or didn't break it up and then, how they punished the students involved?
What's the point, here?
