I didn't mean to say that kids can't be mean, just that I think the majority of them are not inherently so. I agree - I think that what they show the outside world is a reflection of what they are shown to be appropriate. Granted, there can be some rotten seeds out there - it's got to be a balance of nature and nurture - but I can't believe that a group of five year olds would have ever thought to have this sort of Lord of the Flies mentality without being told to do so. Maybe older kids, but this age? No way. Thanks for the comment, Chato! I didn’t mean to say that kids can’t be mean, just that I think the majority of them are not inherently so.
