[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - [b]sorry if this question hit a nerve with you.[/b] I can tell you that I went to a top private in DC and the kids who were "mean" (name calling, exclusionary etc) in first and second grade were honestly still the mean kids in 10th and 11th grade. I can think of maybe one exception, so I am definitely taking the student populations into account while we look at schools. I think schools can do a lot to teach kindness and niceness, but I honestly think that a lot of it comes from the home, so if the parents are clueless and/or not willing to address it - it can really fester. So, yes, I do think 4-10 year olds can be mean and cruel. Social climbing may have been the wrong term, but it certainly turns into that by 5th/6th grade. [/quote] OP, you're sounding less nice by the minute.[/quote]
