I think you are right! And I know I have felt completely alone at times in wanintg to see school-aged children treat each other with acceptance and tolerance. When a fellow mom working with me in one of my children's kindergarten classrooms years ago told me her son was super competitive, I thought she was apologizing. But over the years that followed, I watched in disbelief as she encouraged her son to only win-at all costs: rough play and fouls on the soccer field, cheating in class. And in my daughters kindergarten class, a mean girl with a superior-minded mom transfered mid-year into the school district. It was like night and day before they transfered and after they arrived! The mood was upbeat before. And fear and mean-hearted games were obvious within one week after! The mom promptly ran for and won a seat on the school board. This mother/daughter team then carved up the entire population of girls in the grade between a cruel and exclusive group who actually believed they were above the school staff and a secondary larger group of want-to-bes. With this social structure in place, the entire female population of the grade would target one girl at a time until they broke her. By the time this group reached sixth grade, 5 of the families pulled their girls out of the school, and the staff and PTA formed an anti-bullying task force. It failed because the girls believed they were above it all. I think the problem gets worse when moms who encourage exclusionary play come on campus to volunteer without getting a clear message from the school and teacher about the way the students are expected to treat each other. So many moms on campus is so great, but can also create the potential for the unofficial social messages they may bring to become a contributing factor to the meanness that is becoming more frequent in school. Social curriculum should teach and enforce empathy. This may be the only way to teach parents how to teach, or at least mimic a more acceptable behavior. Thank you for your voice!
