As someone bullied a lot what I learned from them always punishing retaliation but not the action was to wait a day, be sneaky about it, then unleash all hell like youd never get another chance. If they're gonna punish me for being in the right Im gonna earn it, so I went big. They never found the rock that was in my hand though so I guess it worked out.

Dont get mad at him for doing it better.
I'm missing something. Are you suggesting that by retaliating outside the moment - attacking outta nowhere the next day - you were somehow punished differently? Perhaps less so?
What often happens in these cases, you'll see, is that nothing is every done about the issue until the victim fights back. Then they usually both get punished equally.
The initial bullying is often completely ignored.
Teachers tend to treat one sided aggression (ie bullying) as an annoyance they must deal with, often daily, so it's brushed off as par for the course. Once two parties are swinging it's a fight, and since they're already used to excusing bullying, it must be the retaliator who was wrong.
"it takes two to tango" that is, there'd not be a fight if the victim didn't resist. Therefore both parties are at fault /s
yuuuup "Why'd you hit back? Now I can't ignore it!"
I also think teachers get used to bullies because they act out so frequently and just accept their behavior as default, so they subconsciously think yeah that kid is supposed to hit other kids, but it was weird the quiet one flipped out all of a sudden (flipped out meaning acted exactly like the kid they ignore does all the time)
Now, I was lucky in high school. I was one of the "good kids" with impeccable grades and a quiet demeanor, so when I shoved a kid down the stairs for pinching my butt, no one saw anything. (LPT: don't pinch someone's butt as they are going up the stairs. They have the high ground and might be startled. I'm still pissed at that kid. He was fine, we were only a few steps up.)
I don't think it's really the teachers that brush it off. Most teachers do actually care. It's the administration that doesn't have their backs.
Teachers definitely brush it off. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was the victim, all the fucking time. I still remember elementary school in Philly, I was the only Asian kid in the class. Holy fucking shit, the bully always had co-conspirstors testifying against me, defending their mini-"gang leader" and nothing is ever done.
Those classes where there were a few ABCs ("American Born Chinese"), they would never defend me, not physically, nor even just verbally telling the bully to fuck off, I was just fucking alone.
nope you got it.
