The past couple of days the 1st grader has come home and told me that a certain boy cheats while playing soccer on the playground (uses his hands, plays dirty, etc). She had issues with this same kid in preschool--was always mean to her on the playground. I asked the preschool teacher about it and she was like, "he just doesn't like girls in general". And not in the act-mean-because-I-like-you sense. Just the mean mean sense. Hopefully he is not learning his behavior from his dad who may or may not be on the football staff.
