My experience is that calling the teacher, or even worse, the principal makes things worse...
In my child's class, when this child had a good teacher, it literally made all the difference. The teacher took notice more of what was going on between the kids who were being mean. She also got the school counselor involved. Now, a few years later, the kids who were mean are still not perfect, but it is so much better. And it was all because of the teacher who took time to care and see what was going on in the class room.
Kids are in school for many hours during the day. The teachers are with the students for most of the day. In my mind, this is of course the first level of defense. And then if things dont get better, you get the teacher to involve the other parent/s.

What I said is for the teacher to be on the LOOKOUT, as to just see what's going on, and not to interfere. If it's something big and constant then she should maybe think of involving the mother. But many times kids rather accept words from third parties than from close family.

The best thing is to each your child how to respond. Or walk away and just say "whatever"

Explain to child that there will be bullies in every classroom and everyone has to learn how to
deal with them.

Make sure your child has at least one loyal friend - arrange playdates, treat friend to trips, nosh

If that fails, try teacher and principal before calling a parent.
