Mean-ness in class rooms

There is much rude behavior between boys and girls (and even between groups of boys or girls). Typically - calling derogatory nick-names, trashing and mocking happens when one group asks for some adjustment with other.

If children are so intolerant about even minor day-to-day adjustments, how will they face the world where other people's opinions may be out-rightly opposite, or a compromise is required. Would they then become violent on one side or depressed on the other.

In the hard times ahead children need the skills to adjust and negotiate, see others point-of-view. Yet, there is little opportunity to develop these specific skills in the school.

This lack of tolerance is limiting the efficiency for work/projects done in groups and is distracting.
