..."society" is to blame as well as the parents...the school system here has a policy that if there is a fight at school...BOTH participants are issued misdemeanor tickets by the school police officer...no matter if there are a dozen witnesses saying that Johnny was minding his own business, Billy came in and started whaling on him, and Johnny hit back in self-defense...this is wrong...illegal...unconstitutional, and they do it all the time...and the courts and the parents do nothing to stop it...
...I told my sons to keep their tongues civil, do all reasonable to avoid trouble, but if someone lit into them swinging...defend themselves and I'd back them up 100%....the only fight my oldest got into...he started off school grounds and went to jail for...rightfully so...the others went 12 years without trouble...
...there is nothing right about a student being afraid to fight back for fear of punishment...it's unnatural and unconstitutional...it would never be asked of a grownup in free society...and we do it to our kids...and the parents shrug...

...the only thing a physical bully understands is pain...I've personally stopped bullying of me in school four times by dealing out enough pain that they left me alone...and all the teacher wanted to know was who hit first...that's fair....
