Maybe schools can use their goddamn brains and handle things on a case-by-case basis instead of their zero tolerance bullshit. Maybe they can severely punish bullying so it doesn't get to that point.

Yes. I completely agree. Provocation and self-defence should always be taken into account. Bullies should suffer serious consequences.

And people have a goddamn right to self-defense from bullies. If people don't give you kindness and respect, then you don't give them kindness and respect. The victims have zero responsibility to be the bigger person. Maybe don't treat a defenseless child like a worthless piece of shit if you want to avoid potential consequences of your actions.

I haven't suggested anything of the kind.

My point is that a parent cannot be allowed to storm into a school and start threatening and getting into altercations with minors in lessons.

It doesn't help the situation for anyone. Including the child who is being bullied. Kids aren't going to leave her be just because her dad went psycho in class and got arrested. It's making things worse.

I hope we are not going to do the 'unless you support fathers threatening kids in lessons, you support bullying' thing.
