I'm far from an expert, but that was naive. You missed that part about bullies often having problems in school, didn't you?

Generally, you want to stop the bullying for one of the same reasons you want to stop rapes -- it damages the lives of many victims. But you also want to catch this, because the bully often needs help.

Edit: I don't really have an opinion on when/if the police should get involved. It probably depends on bow fscked the teacher subculture is.
