81 people want schools to expel bullies on the second offense.

I'd give them 3 strikes. One warning, one suspension, and then one expulsion.

I would give them 3 strikes too.

i agree....i'm tired of the bullies getting off or only one or two days of in-school suspension. students need to be more responsible for their actions. If someone stands up to a bully, they're doing right - unless they'eve started a physical fight. I'd like to see more expulsions - schools are afraid to lose kids, cuz they lose $$$

p.s. my nephew just got put in a headlock by a bully at school...they did nothing to the bully because they said my nephew teased him. (which was only partially true...but if you saw my nephew you would laugh at the claim. he's a sweet and kind kid.)

maybe 3rd strike, depending on level of bullishness, but certainly bullies have no place in a learning environment. teaching your kids to speak up about bullies and tell parents is important too. if any kid every bullies my kid (i mean, in a really strong way), i'll take care of it. i have secret ways of handling this sort of thing.
