Teachers and school administrators almost always side with bullies. They can't help themselves.
I know. My child had a terrible time* of it, during their school years. And I'm slowly* becoming more aware, because I've almost no filter and blurt out whatever crosses my mind. I'm addressing it, but reversion sneaks up on me. I just have to keep working at that, and way too often, missing what seems obvious to others or very belatedly.
