Agreed, kids love doing what they aren't supposed to. Kutulu is right, they should try cracking down on the insults ALL THE TIME. This will just increase the name calling for the week.
The problem is schools don't really punish people for name calling. Maybe they suspend a kid, but lots of kids love having an excuse to not go to school. Longer in school suspensions might be better, but they have to be longer punishments which kids would dread getting.
