40 Dads Form Group To Help Stop Violence At Louisiana High School “There hasn't been a single fight at the school since Dads on Duty stepped in.” 👏👏
“We’re dads. We decided the best people who can take care of our kids are who? Are us,” Michael LaFitte, who started Dads on Duty,. Whatever they are doing is working — there hasn’t been a single incident of fighting since Dads on Duty showed up to help.
They aren’t doing anything out of the ordinary and don’t have backgrounds in counseling. They are simply showing up, telling some bad dad jokes, and creating a positive environment for all students so they can concentrate on learning. “I immediately felt a form of safety,” one of the students said. “We stopped fighting; people started going to class.” Another said, “You ever heard of ‘a look?'” joking about the power dads have when they want to get something across to the students.Of course, humor always works with kids, even if they don’t want to admit it. “They just make funny jokes like, ‘Oh, hey, your shoe is untied,’ but it’s really not untied,” a student said.
This is the epitome of “it takes a village,” and an act of selflessness and love that students can really feel. It’s one thing to hear about something happening in your community and actually doing something to make an impact. Dads on Duty has definitely put their words into action, and the school is better for it.
“Because not everybody has a father figure at home – or a male, period, in their life,” the dads told CBS. “So just to be here makes a big difference.”
