Class bullies may earn more in middle age, study finds

Bullies (like the dogs in Animal Farm) tend to be arrogant to the weak and servile to the strong.

It would not surprise me if they were to do well, as current society has many, many, roles for that sort of person.

> “Rather than a punitive approach, there could be more focus on understanding the causes of the disruptive behaviour and teachers could be trained to identify strategies that help children to channel these tendencies in ways that fit better with the classroom.”

Or one could even subtly encourage such behaviour, as one suspects from Orwell's description of his boarding school days in Such, Such Were the Joys.

And the bullied had better become artists or inventors.
