I got it handled - I went to the school and they did nothing; next stop police - filed a complaint - now, reality is that they did nothing except talk with the parents and I knew nothing would really happen. However, cops going to a bully's house, talking with parents does have an affect and, side benefit, it is on the record if things should ever take a turn for the worse. School was ticked off, "we really would have preferred to handle this in-house."
Schools, teachers and administrators want parents to shut up - they are not above the law and it works. Gets their attention and the parents of these butt munches.
What would you do if your child was being bullied at school and the school was not taking any action? This is a huge problem across the Nation.

I'd likely be persistent. Keep pushing the school to take action and not stop until they do.
To me, ignoring a bully is like... ignoring the "Check Engine" light on your car. It won't make the problem go away.
BINGO
You have no idea how glad I was when I figured out I was going to a different high school.
I'm going to make my kids learn it. I think it teaches great discipline.
its a life lesson and unless it is getting physical or really out of hand then the kid should suck it up.
if it is getting physical or out of hand (whole school or something like that) then notify the principal/teachers.
a taught trait my ass, people have been bullying for as long as there have been people to bully.
my point was, if some kid is teasing your child, leave your child to deal with it how they see fit (non violent of course - violence is never the answer), but if some kid is beating your child then notify the authorities or if the whole school is teasing your child then further action (moving schools) may be taken.
In the land of the helicopter parent this may be seen as ludicrous, but it is the logical way. How is your child ever going to function in the real world if during their whole childhood mummy and daddy were always saving them?
.
how do animals get power and keep it, through fighting, growling, hissing etc.
why should humans brains work any differently.
"untrue, simply untrue.
a taught trait my ass, people have been bullying for as long as there have been people to bully."
True, animals to a point learn by observation to serve, outside of the inert instincts So you are saying you are a bully yourself. .
why would there be any difference between humans and animals we are one in the same?
in the family home siblings challenge each other and teenagers challenge parents (as can be observed in animals).
edit: you seriously need to stop doubting simple logic.
So true.
But I feel the system in which we put our children has failed and is failing when student-body exceed a reasonable size you start to incur issues. But I differ with you there is a difference between bulling and the survival instant you may have felt do you not agree
this is going to be long so bear with me.
this is from wiki (the alpha male article)
"Chimpanzees show deference to the alpha of the community by ritualised gestures such as bowing, allowing the alpha to walk first in a procession, or standing aside when the alpha challenges.
Gorillas use intimidation to establish and maintain alpha position.
The alpha males of Capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) are the preferred male partner for the adult females in the community. However, only the strong females have a strong interaction with the alpha male because a female dominance rank allows only the most dominant and strong females to interact with the male."
and this too
"The status of the alpha is often achieved by means of superior physical prowess, though it can also be determined by social efforts and building alliances.[1] The individual in the alpha position usually changes when another challenges it to a fight, in some species to the death, and wins. Consequently, alphas may have to fight individuals in their own group several times to maintain their position throughout their lifetimes."

this from the dominance hierarchy article
"A dominance hierarchy (in humans: social hierarchy) is the organization of individuals in a group that occurs when competition for resources leads to aggression. Schjelderup-Ebbe, who studied the often-cited example of the pecking order in chickens, found that such social structures lead to more stable flocks with reduced aggression among individuals.
Dominance hierarchies can be despotic or linear. In a despotic hierarchy, only one individual is dominant, while the others are all equally submissive. In a linear hierarchy, for example, in the above cited pecking order of chickens, each individual dominates all individuals below him and not those above him.
Dominance hierarchies occur in most social animal species that normally live in groups, including primates. Dominance hierarchies have been extensively studied in fish, birds, and mammals. Dominance hierarchies can be simple linear structures, which often arise from the physical differences among individuals in a group in relation to their access to resources. They are also influenced by the complex social interactions among individuals in the group."
this again from the dominance hierarchy article
"Dominance hierarchies, though often more subtle, can be observed in human societies and are important for understanding the organization of family, tribe or clan, work organizations, politics, etc. in normal and abnormal social situations. It is not clear how much of dominance hierarchy in humans is due to the intrinsic biology of our brains, derived from evolution, and how much is due to cultural factors."
sorry for making this so long.
but this explains bullying... so... not sorry.
home school and then never have a social situation in your life?
any social situation fosters this environment.
its better for children to learn while they are young.
