Its why there are cliques
what 'it'?
Classroom
Group of students
that is often worse though
Wish I could experience the social dynamics of an all boys school <:why:462286147473637407>
because the deck is constantly reshuffled
so each is looking to re-establish respective hierarchy
girls and boys
Pulling the mat from out under people like that is kind of vicious
It does help them to learn to be able to cooperate with more people I guess
Rather then just their friends

@livid_scrooge Fuck off Livid
maybe? i don't think that is what it teaches. i think it teaches how to establish and maintain dominance hierarchy more than anything
It’s like christ, not that hard

Shut up immigrant
Maybe I feel the classes are too big to even do that
read lenord sax about why gender matters
it just LOOKS like teamwork because the the plebes (lower status kids) fall inline quickly
discusses why you want all girl or boy schools
Actually I don't think it does that at all
Because hierarchical positioning requires you to be apart of the ingroup
This sets up subgroups that are against each other
you don't think that the popular kids instantly inherit a position of status when mixed with a new set of plebes?
They'd do that anyway
no they don't; popular kids wouldn't normally ASSOCIATE with those plebes
they'd stick to their own groups
I’m a popular kid
but the new class gives plebes access they wouldn't normally have
Okay I get what you're saying
@ManAnimal In my experience, if I'm working on a project with a kid more popular than me, than I just tend to fall in line. Take the path of least resistance.

It’s not about popularity when it comes to projects it’s about leadership skills
@livid_scrooge It really is...
sometimes you wield it and aren't even aware that you wield it; that was me in school; EVERYONE knew who i was; i didn't feel that way though

Class rooms should probably be gender segregated at least if you want your classroom to act like a team
Everyone knows who I am but don't really interact with me at all.
I'd tend to agree with the gender segregated approach
