A bullying fine?

Thanks for posting the policy.  


Would you want your child to deal with a bully themselves, (of course with instruction from you and your wife on how to handle them) or would you rather they just learn to always run to an adult for the adult to punish the other child?

Asking kids to handle bullies themselves is unfair because as adults we are allowed to carry guns and knives and use lethal force against people who threaten us.  Kids have it rough.  I realize this sounds like me making a joke, but the only two times I was a teenager and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time I was sneak attacked by a group of soon-to-be-career criminals who threatened me when I wanted nothing more than to just walk away. There wasn't even any reason for it other than a group of guys just wanting to be thugs and throw homosexual slurs at everyone. Ah that was it, I was walking with two of my friends, one male and one female, and they approached us and said we were gay...or something. It didn't make sense, but our presence drove them to action, I guess.

Anyways, the ringleader of this group actually committed suicide a few years ago and I can say with all the fairness in my heart that I don't have the saintly traits required to be anything but amused by that.

Both times if I would have been an adult and shot at them a jury would have given me a pass.  I don't know why we expect kids to handle stuff for themselves.  Maybe I'm an odd case, but my favorite thing about being an adult is that I'm not forced to deal with people I don't want to deal with.  During school you're stuck with these people.  You can't just tell them to piss off and then walk out the door.
