[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mean is subjective. What exactly are the girls and moms doing you find to be so mean, OP? [/quote] - Excluding other girls - Making fun of other girls or boys (verbally or in notes/pictures that are passed around the classroom) - Telling kids not to play with or be friends with certain girls or boys. It feels weird to be an adult referring to a 9 year old as a “mean girl.” I don’t think they are bad kids. They are just navigating the culture of the classroom in a way that works best for them. I don’t think the moms are bad people either. They don’t deliberately set out to hurt people. They just see the world in terms of these social hierarchies and are trying to come out on top. [/quote] I’m a high school teacher and to some degree all of these behaviors are typical and age appropriate all through k-12. (Excluding extremes such as bullying but that’s not what you’re describing.) [/quote]
