#2 In a typical elementary school there are a few 'known troublemakers'. They break rules every day and do what they want and the school has given up on ever controlling them. If someone else happens to get fed up and do something about it, then the kid who is reacting will get the book thrown at them and holy hell breaks loose.
A first hand account. A perpetual bully at my sons school would beat him up almost every day. We had my son 'tell the teacher'. He was told to just say away from Billy we met with the teacher about it and were told well some kids you just cant do anything about
Finally I told my son (aged 8) well, you need to decide if you are going to get your ass kicked every day or do something about it. If the teachers wont give Billy a reason to not want to pick on you, then you need to.
Next day my son popped him back after the usual festivities began and gave him a fat lip. The school went totally ape shit. My son was suspended and we had to meet with the principal and some intervention team. They did not like that my son had crossed the line and made the problem worse. They remained steadfast that the kid who was the bully could not be controlled and that his parents didnt care. But to them the whole problem was that my kid had fought back. Idiots.
Billy never bothered my kid again the whole rest of the year so happy ending.
Oh yeah, and now we home school.

#3 Abu, I have a similar tale. Our tiny daughter entered Jr hihg along with her great big friend. Older kids harassed, picked on, beat on them. Friends parents pulled her out of the school - which is how we found out anything. We asked our daughter if they did that stuff to her and she said "They did, but she waited until the teacher wasn't looking, and hit them back, and now they don't bother me anymore" (she was a lot stronger than she looked.)
