i love watching children at play. one particular observation i have been, which i am afraid must be biased, is that children who do poorly at school tend to show more aggressive behavior than their mates who perform better. i wish someone can ask me to shut up and stop being so hard on kids!

There are some factors that children seems so different from the other children at their age. One of the factor is that, some children may manifest mild mental retardation or children with delayed motor development. If you suspect that there is differences, it will bet better to consult a doctor to have an appropriate interventions for the child. Good day!

I think it's true, because it's part of human nature to envy those who are better at something or who have better stuff and better skills... especially as, I guess, parents and teachers idolise the better students and tell the worse students that they are lazy or stupid (well, I see loads of examples for that in my environment)... Of course it's not going to end aggression, but these worse students should be guaranteed that they are as valuable, just they are better at singing or sports, not Maths or Science.
