[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW I think #1 actually sounds the meanest. She essentially told a kid who is bad at drawing that their drawing sucked unsolicited and for no reason. That IS mean girl behavior. It's not abnormal in the sense that 1st graders can be mean and many of them grow out of it, but the kids that teachers would identify as "nice kids" do not do #1.

#2 I think is actually not particularly mean or rude. Maybe untactful and possibly even wrong, but there is nothing wrong with the underlying message there. This is all the more true if they have underlying rigidity issues -- clearly not driven by meanness.

#3 could be mean depending on context, but sounds pretty normal to me and "nice kids" would occasionally do it too. I'd tell my kid to knock it off, but I wouldn't be upset if lots of kids were participating and she wasn't purposely picking on the actually worst player or something.[/quote]

I’m not happy with any of them! But yes they are all upsetting in different ways. [/quote]
