ugh. this thread brings back yucky feeling from being in school. this sort of peer interaction certianly plays a part in my choice to homeschool. not that homeschooled kids are any better/nicer to each other...they go thru the same behaviors. I think that the differance is that parents are able to see it sooner and work to prevent it. I often have pulled one of my children aside and talked to them about treating others with respect, not excluding anyone. I have often heard kids in our group stand up to another child and say "I do not allow anyone to treat me that way. If you keep being mean...I will just ignore you"
