Another thing that you could do is look for why that kid is being bullied maybe tell them how to fix their problem. I’m sorry to say that their probably is no further course of action than this without physical punishment in schools and no way to be sure that the parents are punishing their children there’s just nothing you can do. But there’s something you can stop doing stop giving punishment to kids who simply defend themselves.
