Take this scenario: a strong, aggressive bully attacks an innocent weaker student. The innocent student tries to defend himself but to no avail. Teachers can not save him. We can not even walk between them to keep one away from the other. That is considered restraining."

Guessing that came around because of a lawsuit. Also guessing it will get quickly reversed by another lawsuit.
