You may enjoy my interview with Dr Elizabeth Englander, author of 25 Myths About Bullying and Cyberbullying.

I can't say I always agreed...but see what you think.

In my experience bullying is more of a gang a thing as opposed to one person bullying another. In our school we had a boxing ring and bullies would have the stuffing knocked out then in there; an eye for an eye. I didn’t hear anything about punishment in the interview. Bullying amounts to criminal offences in most cases and teachers ought to report such cases to the police. What sort of lesson is telling criminals to stop being mean to people?

I agree; I thought she totally missed the boat with bullies who were physically abusive. She seemed to think it didn't exist anymore. She was very wrong about that. Retribution usually happens off-campus, "uptown." She was really only dealing with a subset of the problem.
