Perhaps it would be an idea to do a bit more reading on the subject then, because of your position in schools. Bullying does take place in primary schools and it can take insidious and subtle forms. A friend's daughter was driven close to suicide due to subtle (non-violent) mobbing type bullying which her teachers refused to acknowedge or deal with. My sister had to change the school her younger son attended because of relentless bullying which the teachers didn't recognise or acknowledge. The most common complaint of parents whose children are bullied at school is that the school either didn't acknowledge it or didn't do anything about it.
