> Meanwhile multi-cultural urban school, really a bad idea to have regular and repeated situations where students strike others, IMHO. I see it as a chicken and egg problem. It can be hard to manage situations where people from different background and culture have to intensely interact with each other, especially as they are pushed to their limits. But it is also by having multi-cultural people regularly interact with each others that you help improve their relations and make these situations better. If it seems hard to enter the cycle, a smaller first step to have the kids get used to be around each other could help.
