My kid was bullied and changed schools mostly due to that. At the next school a violent bullying kid was in her class but the school made serious efforts to safely include him and manage his behaviour so that the other kids felt safe speaking up when he was bullying them and knew what was just get along with weird behaviour versus unsafe behaviour. I was worried a lot at first but then my kid would talk about how the teachers and classmates handled him and she felt safer about both her own quirks as a neurodiverse kid being accepted and about the school being a safe place because this very difficult kid was still included as best as possible and the school showed actively that they were listening to kids. He also made significant progress over the next couple of years.
Abusive kids deserve school too. It’s a lot more work but the end result benefits all the kids.
