It just occurred to me that the cause of tolerating bullying is the local state monopoly on jailing children in schools. In any voluntary situation, that behavior gets you kicked out. But there’s nowhere else to go with compulsory education, until you trouble the administration so bad that you get sent to their alternate ‘school’.

Yes, I think most schools are ill-equipped to deal with bullying. It’s so hard to fix that sometimes it’s just easier to ignore/rationalize (“well, it’s not *that* bad”)…
