Some kid hit my 6 year old niece at school. I asked her if she hit him back, and she said no, because they have a "zero tolerance policy" for violence (anybody who advocates this bullsh!t ought to be strapped to a gurney and castrated with a plastic fork, btw) and she would have gotten in as much trouble as the kid who hit her. I told her to punch the little bastard back next time and if she got in trouble I'd have a private word with the principal in the parking lot.

Pretty much what I told my kids, only had to deal with it once.
