Missives from Wonderland

I love this story and also the perspective KFP and his pals have! Working in a junior high cafeteria I notice how the athlete kids (boys) tend to sit together and the tech kids sit together, the Cheerleader/ fashionistas sit together and the otherwise socially awkward are a group, and the goth and diverse lifestyle kids are in a group at lunch tables and outside too. I have not heard any kid use specific terms for their cliques, just "my friends". We crack down as much as possible on in-school and on bus bullying and ostricizing. It's harder to control what happens socially off-campus.
