Teachers tend to treat one sided aggression (ie bullying) as an annoyance they must deal with, often daily, so it’s brushed off as par for the course. Once two parties are swinging it’s a fight, and since they’re already used to excusing bullying, it must be the retaliator who was wrong.
I don’t think it’s really the teachers that brush it off. Most teachers do actually care. It’s the administration that doesn’t have their backs.
Teachers definitely brush it off. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I was the victim, all the fucking time. I still remember elementary school in Philly, I was the only Asian kid in the class. Holy fucking shit, the bully always had co-conspirstors testifying against me, defending their mini-“gang leader” and nothing is ever done.
Those classes where there were a few ABCs (“American Born Chinese”), they would never defend me, not physically, nor even just verbally telling the bully to fuck off, I was just fucking alone.
