To be fair in my experience it was the troublemakers assaulting me. Children were not a righteous social police force that punished and rewarded specific behaviors.
I feel like if you were the one “punching trouble makers in the mouth” you were probably also an asshole and it’s nice that you justify it to yourself this way I guess
Another commenter here above would just punch them in the mouth to fix that trouble maker. I wonder if they tried that.
