love,romance and relationship

My husband and I are having a serious disagreement on advising our teenage boys about how to deal with teasing.
Our sons are 15 and 13. The 15 year old has recently started complaining that another boy is making fun of him for his good grades and is calling him a nerd, a creep, and sometimes a loser. My husband has little tolerance for this and has been telling my son to "punch the kid's lights out." I think that this is ridiculous advice. Why on earth would you teach your child to behave aggressively? My husband says that this is what boys do and that it has been going on for centuries. He says that the other boy needs to see that my son is not a wimp and that one good fist in the other boy's face will resolve things once and for all.

I simply don't agree with this. Surely, there has got to be another way to deal with teasing. I just cannot support physical fighting.

Am I wrong?
