Time to HOMESCHOOL your kids. Bullying? Come on - I bet the school won’t do anything!!

It's not a good choice in this case. Children need to learn how to live in a society, the younger they can cope with this, the better. In adult age they'll meet the same, but things will get more complicated. One'll feel nostalgy on simple school-time fist-fight.

My experience is that there is less bullying in the workplace. At work, the boss does not want the loss of productivity that a bully causes, and a jerk will evetually be fired in most cases. Many schools care about the number of kids enrolled (which determines funding) rather than how much is being learned. Kids in public schools probably have more “due process” rights than private sector workers.

The social atmosphere in a public school has NOTHING to do with civilized society. It’s an artificially constructed environment with less supervision than you might realize.

Homeschooling is a valid choice.
