Exactly, heck most of the bullying in highschool (and a lot was done to me tbh, I've always been a bit odd, and it wasn't a good time to be odd) was a lot quieter. It was a lot more dark whispers and being excluded then actual physical harassment. The slushie thing was a nice gimmick for an episode but it's not at all a long term- believable form of bullying.
If you look at season 1 compared to season 2 the pacing is really different. Season 1 has really rapid pacing for a lot of the episodes in comparison. The cutting is pretty different as well. The music is a lot more integrated into the show and a lot less "oh look so and so is performing now".
That being said I really liked Sue as principal at the beginning of the season where she did all of this stuff standing up for Kurt and then she reverted pretty quickly. It's like some characters can grow but others have to remain charactertures, and it was better when everyone was a bit more well cartoony, as well as recycling storylines with different wrappers.
