In my experience, both being bullied and watching others being bullied, teachers and administrators don't care. They want to teach, not discipline, so they avoid discipline as much as possible. The kid who slammed my head into a pole for no reason was simply made to apologise; no phone call to his parents, no suspension, not even a note in his file. This was a typical case.
Unfortunately, the only way to get through to these people seem to be litigation. Any parent who fails to threaten a lawsuit can't reasonably expect the school to act on bullying until there's a serious incident.
