But then when I was a kid and got picked on, my dad told me to quit crying...He even bought me some boxing gloves.

Of course I don't know what I was supposed to do with those: I never could master wearing the boxing gloves and carrying my books at the same time.

The best course of action: Teach your kids how to debate with their teachers and peers. Give you kids the strength of inner self to stand up for whats right, even when the majority says whats right is wrong. Teach them from an early age to keep their wits in the face of adversity.

Do that and your children will go to collage and even receive advanced degrees in science, engineering, law, accounting, business...

Don't do that and your children will grow up to be a number, a sheep, and dependant on others.

And when the teacher calls you into their office and says: "Juniors just a little to opinionated..." Say to the teacher, "I KNOW WHAT HE IS BUT WHAT ARE U!!!"

that really pisses 'em off.
