Hey, nice approach by their teacher BTW, and super nice that the parents and teachers are that close in participating in kids' education.
No wonder Finland is known for high level education.
What's your approach as a parent to this "revelation"? Anything you can do?

It sounds epic until the mom's start texting about a bakesale. You will never have to know how many texts can be written about a doughnut.
I have zero patience with bullies and this is a topic covered a lot in our family since my oldest son has microtia (he is missing an ear and as he ages, the chin that is growing crooked will show more and more each year);and as we all know kids can be cruel.
We are cooking now and chatting about their day and I just told them that if they release mice to the school to get out of a test, or egg the principals car, or make their Swedish teacher cry, they'll be grounded and I will make sure they're miserable for weeks but if they bully an other student for any reason , they can expect that treatment till they're old enough to move out.
"Mom, those were kind of specific examples. Care to elaborate?"
No, I will not but catching mice is way easier than that math exam would've been...
