Can anyone comment on the current prevalence of bullying in schools in the UK vs the USA? We have been considering moving from the Us to the UK but perceived higher likelihood of bullying for our mixed race kids is one concern holding us back. It's hard to know if we are exaggerating that concern or if it is warranted, it would seem hard to know the level of hostility of a school environment prior to moving there.

I think it's likely that the average difference between schools, sometimes even in the same city, is much greater than the difference between the averages for each of the two countries.

I'd guess that the racial and economic demographics of the particular schools in question are much more relevant.
