An 11 yr old would be labeled a crybaby if they went to a counselor/teacher to say "Larlo keeps knocking over my water bottle!" And they'd be labeled that BY THE TEACHER. Not just by the kids.

PP you're quoting.

You've just given me one more reason I'm glad we homeschool: my children and I won't have to deal with teacher labelling them in a disrespectful way. Hint: a good teacher does not label *at all*.[/quote]

Well, you are free to school your kids however you see fit.  But  in the working world, bosses and coworkers don't like employees who are always complaining and don't make an effort to deal with a problem themselves before going to someone else to fix it.  Generally, adults don't like to be friends with other adults who act that way either.  Look, if the kid makes a reasonable effort to ignore it or move away and the other child pursues or escalates, then by all means go to an adult.  But by age 11, this is something that a kid needs to take a stab at on his own first.[/quote]
