This has nothing to do with hate. Do not expect others to do your job. If you want to be liked be likable. Kids are actually very inclusive if they see a nice person struggling.

Agreed. My youngest has multiple disabilities but the other children are very nice to him, even though he is hard to understand and also does not really understand the other kids' games. His teacher assures me he has not had any behavior incidents except one time he responded in a snotty way to his teacher's question and had to spend the recess walking laps. That was months ago and we think he has learned his lesson -he was mortified. He does also get positive support from the school counselor, which I am grateful for. If he started to develop disruptive behaviors, I would hope that they would escalate the consequences and remove him from the classroom environment as necessary. I have two well-behaved/high achieving older children, and I would not want their education to be disrupted either.

To the point about nice parents with a-hole kids- I have seen a lot of nice parents with little terrors, but usually the little terrors become nice teenagers at least. I would not personally want to put up with kids like that for 15 years, but I have stopped judging, since I have seen so many of my nicest (but permissive parenting) friends end up with nice high schoolers/college students. Meanwhile, I have kind of anxious, socially awkward kids - maybe I should have been less strict, but also I am anxious and socially awkward, so it's probably to be expected. [/quote]
