Couldn't agree more. Far better to teach this skill in schools than to have 0 tolerance policies. Even if they manage to ensure no bullying a person must graduate out into the wide world made up of all kinds of people including bullies. Even when going to school there's many other places to be bullied outside of school. Learning how to cope with it and when is the right time to get other people involved is more important than any other subject for nearly everyone will use this skill their entire lives.
