[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher: Boys can be very mean, but they tend to be physical and it’s usually much easier for teachers and other adults to identify male bullies and correct their bad behavior appropriately. With girls, teachers tend to have trouble pinpointing the bullying. Worse, the bullying tends to be excused as developmentally appropriate behavior when it absolutely is not. “It’s okay for Susie to say, such and such, she doesn’t know any better, she’ll grow out of it.” Blah, blah, blah. (Meanwhile, it’s not like a 6 year old boy who bites or punches another kid because he wants to same toy isn’t going to grow out of it, too.) Personally, I’d prefer a good physical fight to so much of the psychological warfare that girls tend to engage in. [/quote] +1000[/quote]
