I am a retired 25 year private school teacher where bullying was more or less not
allowed/dealt with.

This past semester I have substituted in a govt middle school, and I see why I think
bullying happens: the punks are not disciplined because they are too tough to deal with.
They are appeased to keep peace. The ones bullied are meek and don't cause the turmoil
that the punks do when severely disciplined. And so it continues.

You’ve just confirmed my opinion that the teachers know full well who the bullies are.
