I think this is another case of everyone is right. Mrsmichael and Holly (and others) are right that intense bullying can cause one to have violent thoughts and to act them out on themselves or others.... however I'd say those who do act them out, and especially those who act them out to extremes, could very well be dealing with some other underlying issues and it might be a result of more than just the bullying (obviously it would be case by case, how intense the bullying was and what the other issues are)... and LC is right that this is more a psychological question than an education question, those disciplines are very different, though we are probably all qualified to at least have an opinion on it.

That was the sound of my point flying RIGHT over your head.
It was an analogy. It was saying *someone* said something, then backed up and said it wasn't waht she said to begin with.

Close. I meant we can't expect her to be "swayed" by the scientific evidence of EN if we haven't made that debate argument yet (how would she be swayed by an argument we didn't even make). It's not her job to research and make the EN'ing argument for us, that's what the debate is for. But also that the science isn't as overwhelming as it is for nursing in the first year, the science is less likely to sway a person all by itself.
I loved EN, btw, and I do think it's pretty great for those who are open to it. You don't even have to decide ahead of time. Just commit to nursing a year and then remember you don't have to stop if it's going well :)

Geez, I'd put a lot more money on the breastfeeder getting RAV'ed for "egocentric" and the formula feeder getting a by.

Any standard course of study for an education major includes several courses in child psychology.
