Been a teacher for 16 years - I would be proud of him, too. As has been said before, the teacher handled it like I would have but took quite a chance. Everything is supposed to follow a certain chain and God help you if it doesn't.
I don't abide by bullying in any way. It's a crime that we teach kids to be nice to everyone, though. I tell my kids a little differently. I don't care that you don't like someone, but respect them enough to steer clear. There is this push that everyone has to be genial to everyone. All of the kids should play together in love and joy. No way.
I know teachers that will get after kids for not letting everyone that wants to play with them. I don't think so. There are annoying kids just like there are annoying adults. If someone told me I had to spend my day talking so nicely to them and was forced to be around them I might light myself on fire. Lots of parents have thanked me for not making Johnny play with Soandso all day even they don't care for them. There is no need to be hateful about it, just say "no thank you" and go about your business. There are some kids that just thrive on having an adult get them their way all the time. Those kids amount to squat in the real world when they deal with life on their own two feet.
The kid went around it the right way - "I'm not looking for a fight". The bully has heard that a million times. He hasn't had someone stand up to him. That's what he will remember. If he doesn't maybe someone will clean his clock again. He will get it eventually.
