The thing is, it doesn't take much for an adult to see through that, just ask any parent. 

The key is, school administration actively supports bullies, they get away with it because administration knows bullies have a higher tendency to be c suite execs and every bully is just a chance to get a famous alumni. 

You hate to hear it, but it's true, and at ALL levels of life. 

Your boss or your boss's boss was probably a bully, statistically.

Eh. I don't think that part's intentional on the part of administration. That's giving them a bit too much credit. IMO it's laziness--they just want the status quo rather than having to put forth the effort to fix a problem.
