Disagree. In school, it's very much the right answer. Kids don't know where to draw the line especially since teachers coddle the worst kids and defend them the most, thus preventing them from learning empathy. I'm not condoning bullying at all or saying that the following should be a normal occurrence. But getting beat up by a kid in the same grade (or the very threat it could happen) for being an a-hole to them can prevent most of these kids from continuing down that path the rest of their lives. Kids like this girl shouldn't be "remedied" for defending themselves. And judging by the large number of unempathetic, no affect politicians these days, I think it's safe to say that many were the a-holes who were protected by the teachers.
