RE: The Cost of Public School Bullying
Bullying is an externality that affects our society detrimentally. I'm wondering if there's a way to internalize such cost, for example, making parents of offending children pay a fine or something. Money can be used as a tool to modify social behavior. While my proposal may sound insane, I'm not sure if there's a better way to internalize the cost of bullying.
Some kids are bullies not by their parents but other factors. Parents can't stop them either. Something happened outside of their control. The responsibility is ultimately with the individual who does the wrong behavior, and working with them needs to happen to heal their damaged psyche.
