i think a lot of that comes from the staff and administration as well. if the adults in the room get annoyed or exhausted by someone with special needs it basically gives the kids permission to be mean. and the staff tends to stick around.
i work with high school sports teams a lot. this DEFINITELY holds true for team culture. the number of high school sports teams that just act like teenage versions of their coaches can be unbelievable.
I always know I'm in for a bad day when the coach is a dick.
It was always particularly unbelievable to me, when teachers chose to get in on the bullying, since it improved their standing with the majority of the class. Like, what the fuck, you're supposed to be the adult in the room. Instead, you're such a loser that you depend on the validation of bullying teenagers.
