Hell when it comes to even bullying in school words are the least of problems. Hazing, fights, vandalism, theft and other types of activities are FAR more serious than harmless words.

Granted if you want to live in a pansy world where everyone gets a trophy, no one is accountable and everyone must be PC then I can understand your point of view...

Though I am curious, since you don't believe in deterrence, how do you propose to solve the problem of kids being mean to each other with words? Based on your post history you clearly don't think punishments will deter behavior - so what's the school supposed to do?
Once again, Lewk, you demonstrate your incapability to understand simple concepts regarding the efficiency of punishment and where it is appropriate. And how it even works, that is, if it works.

And if you think that "words are not a problem" then you were either lucky or a bully yourself. Or completely oblivious. Then again, given your post history, that's pretty much a given.
