[quote=Anonymous]I have volunteered for 10 years (once a week) at elementary school and I have never seen these over-exaggerated sceneries take place. Sure there is some issues here and there of fighting, crying, etc.. but it is equal in sexes. I have seen boys cry and lash out too. I have seen girls bully non-athletic kids on the field. I have seen either sex leave out others of opposite sex. But it happens the same with-in sex. Same fights, same leaving out, same bullying etc... And overall it barely happens. MOST times the aides and volunteers WANT the kids to figure it out. That is life. Most kids have their whole day structured that they don't even know how to truly socialize those 30min. It is a teaching moment to not always step in and let the kids figure out. They rarely get a chance to do that these days. Parents over-step their boundaries and it does more harm than good. All you can do is teach your child to do the right thing (not retaliate, inform a grown-up) than all is well. You can NOT complain, whine or sound off on other kids or their parents. Anyway, this sounds like one girl-hating mom and one boy-hating mom going back and forth for pages. [/quote]
