I have no patience with "conservatives" who minimize the evil of teasing and bullying. But the answer to it is to abolish the public and private schools that arbitrarily segregate children by age (and thus, automatically, separate siblings from one another), and create, also inevitably, jungles. Homeschooling is the natural, normal way for children to learn. All other modes of education should be resorted to only in dire emergencies, and for as short a time as possible. The worst environment for a child is a mob of other people's children, isolated from their parents and siblings.
