Barnes, Peter – Teaching Pre K-8, 2005
Social cliques start around fourth or fifth grade and get worse through middle school and beyond. The cool vs. the uncool. Nerds, jocks, popular kids and outsiders--students are categorized by their peers and excluded by those different from them. Students who are not part of the "cool" crowd feel isolated and lonely and are often subjected to…

Jackson, Melissa Faye; Barth, Joan M.; Powell, Nicole; Lochman, John E. – Child Development, 2006
Black children generally receive poorer sociometric nominations compared with Whites.

Research from a person-environment perspective suggests that the effects of children's race depend on the racial composition of…
