Because such cowardice is a real problem. Nowadays, teachers also can be victimized, that's why they aren't eager to risk their own hide to defend some random kid - "better he/she than me". That's why headmasters and teachers of many schools in many countries turn blind eye. Especially if bullies' parents are playing golf with the mayor, or something like that. Or if the teacher (in theory: adult) is physically smaller and weaker than bully (in theory: kid).
