[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in a small school, and there are few clusters/cliques (hate to use that word, I don't think the sub groups perceive themselves to be cliques) of subgroups, and someone says : don't include so and so, it's the kiss of social death. There is no other group to join. [/quote] VERY TRUE and very much a problem in the smaller privates.[/quote] Yes, our son experienced this very thing. Social exclusion is a very painful experience ... Not sure if it is technically "bullying" but we removed him from the school after a few years of this situation and that decision proved to be a very good one. It was sad because we really loved the school, but you cannot control which kids will be in your child's cohort and there is really only so much that can be done to help with such small group dynamics.
