But what actual enumerable steps can be done to lessen bullying and not just shift it around (as JIMGA's power vacuum notes).
I'm not saying they're not out there. But I don't know what they are and we haven't really said anything in this thread that could prevent a thing.

The schools I've seen it implemented at, have posters everywhere, assemblies, and teachers reinforcing the idea that bullying is wrong and will not be tolerated from Kindergarden on up. It's talked about a few times a year, the posters are always there as a reminder, and most importantly if bullying is observed by the teachers, definitive action is taken. Of course, that relies on everyone to do their job properly which is an issue in any system. I don't think it is any magical cure but it helps some.
