 Things got much better when I beat the crap out of one of them during
 another incident -- and the teacher looking on didn't stop us, and said to
 the boy afterwards "you deserved it"
 probably not quite as teacherly as some would wish, but boy it felt good to
 me!

Which just means that Dad hasn't thought it out.   You should shame the other 
kid.  "You can't think something through, so you have to use violence?  What 
a failure.  You wouldn't even make a sidekick in comic books, they all know 
violence is a last resort or in protection of others."  I didn't get beaten 
up much because I wasn't worth the effort.
