Getting assaulted by another student does lots of damage to mental health.
Typical response By admin is to ignore the the Issue or minimize it.

In my school there was little physical bullying. I cannot remember any to be honest. Psychological "terror"? Plenty. I am actually not that old, but 15 years ago it was mostly parents that mediated conflicts. Children are ashamed to admit they are bullied in many cases, so you need good teachers to notice and speak to parents.
I cannot honestly condemn teachers that disengage though. Classrooms get bigger, bullying happens digitally and out of reach, teachers and parents are critical of each other and pupils are the first to notice if they have free reign and know pretty well how to profit from such conflicts.
Kids learn at different speeds so a good education system takes that into regard. Systems should be transient that slow starters can catch up at a later time and reach higher forms of education.
We need more teachers and smaller groups. Eating healthy can be a course, but you quickly loose all the pupils that already learned that from their parents.
Mental health is hard to teach and there is little certain knowledge here, it only works individually. Aside from really hard cases, I think children have quite resilient minds.
I believe the reluctance to do physical exercise has other sources, not really lacking education. But PE is vastly to be preferred to medicating "unusual" behavior.
