That girl almost feels psychopathic. But if what the teacher is pointing out is true, then her act of not caring is to hide her own insecurities. In other words, she's a really weak person. Even though she may or may not be a product of her environment, if she persists in not caring and feigning innocence I'd say extreme measures have to be taken because people like that will only become a menace to society as a whole if they ever end up in a position of power.

The 'insecure bully' sounds like a pretty common thing, to be honest, at least in stories that make an effort to be grounded in reality. Generally, I get the impression bullies are usually just weak, broken people, themselves, and act tough to hide this, as well as attempt to deflect their insecurities and faults onto others, thus the bullying. None of this makes it okay, but it does put things into perspective. It's all just a vicious cycle of broken people not dealing with their problems properly and spreading the brokenness.

The junior teacher is asking the right question. The culprit gets a huge amount of attention from the school, whereas the primary victim is already out of sight, out of mind, and the secondary victim probably gets no attention anymore, either. Luckily Hina doesn't really need it, but under different circumstances (if she didn't have such a warm home and friends), she might.

It's kind of like the situation with prisoners. Every single prisoner costs the state as much as the wage of a random low-level employee. So, instead of having more police officers, firefighters, or whatever, the country supports criminals sitting behind the bars. Of course the prisons do employ a bunch of guards, which is an honest job, but it's still connected to the seeminly bizarre situation of investing massive amounts of money to keep a bunch of people away from the streets. The country most certainly does not pay such attention to the victims of the criminals. They are lucky to recover their monetary losses: petty criminals often are penniless.
