Bullies on school playground?

I know this bullying issue is quite debatable and there seems to have no solution for it. This monster has been around for so many years and unless the school has a strong policy for it, many are become victims. Bullying comes in many forms and bullies know exactly when, how, and who to attack. It can be as simple as eye contact or making faces. Even if the school has a policy against them, still bullies will find ways and places to attack their victims. Example in the classroom of ten students, bullies can attack when teacher is busy on the board or when her attention is on other students. Some educators recommend that students try to look confident so as not to attract predators. Teachers and principals should be able to correct this problem as soon as they detect it on students. For teachers, they can simply befriend the bullies and find out why they are behaving that way. Once the cause of the problem is known, it would be easier to find ways on how to cure it.

I think contacting the child's parents would be a major step in the right direction. They may not know how the child is acting in school. It may also be helpful to set up a playdate, of course it would need to be chaperoned.
