It doesn't help and may accelerate feelings of having no way out, but you also can't be seen as "violence is sometimes okay" when its literally a crime as an adult.
There's always enough kids from abusive or neglectful households to make lots of conflict in schools. It used to be (I have heard) that schools and teachers were extremely well respected such that a parent wouldn't go against something a teacher said. So in a way the teacher could help actually parent the kid. Nowadays school is more like having a personal childcare service and parents act like they're paying customers and control every aspect of their kids interactions with it.
- giantg2 6y ago' ..."violence is sometimes okay" when its literally a crime as an adult.' Self defense is not a crime.
- taurath 6y agoIs it only bullying if the bully throws a punch first?
- giantg2 6y agoIf you look look at my comments, I do say there can be verbal bullying. I'm not recommending that someone escalate a verbal altercation into a physical one. I'm saying that zero tolerance policies prevent people who are bullied from fighting back in a physical altercation. On a side note, depending on the state and the specific circumstances, if a bully utters fighting words, one could be justified to get physical if there was an imminent threat to violence. Of course, law and school policy are different.
