Solution against bullies: a bigger bully.

So, a regulating force must necessarily be of the same nature ?

I would like to know your opinions on a better one, if you have one that doesn't require several sessions with a school psychologist (I had a school psychologist at my school and she didn't do anything meaningful about bullying).

In a friends school in Denmark the teacher could decide that your family had to host a party for all the kids at the family home, so they could get to know each other better, and that was repeated until all involved parties stoped misbehaving.

I understand that caning leaves lifetime scars, at least the type I heard about. It's not something you can put weight on for a while.
