How physical violence is possible in US schools? - As I know US has very strict laws against physical violence - Students in US schools can be suspended not onl

  Yep, physical violence is so frowned upon, that both people are typically suspended/disciplined, and at least at my high school were typically sent to "in school suspension" which was basically a tiny room separate from the school where you had to sit. You can imagine how well it tended to work when you took two people that got into a fight had to sit in a tiny room with each other. Also, no, it didn't matter who started the fight. If you were involved then you were equal and disciplined the same. It's ridiculously backwards

  Well, there's the law, and then there's what actually happens. At the very least, you need evidence in the hands of authorities and willingness (of a number of people) to "prosecute", so to speak, before action is taken. I'm guessing both of those are rare.

  Bullying is most effectively done by socially talented sociopaths in many situations. Those at the top of the social hierarchy cajole those they need to, but demonstrate dominance and power over the weak. This should not be surprising. The teachers naturally will "like" the talented social sociopath, so they forgive and don't punish their transgressions against the weak.
