I think it is because you mostly have boys. We have a 3 yr old group mixed with a few boys and the majority are girls. Most of the week, the boys are pretty well behaved BUT 2 days a week our group is joined by 2 other 3 yr old boys and the dynamic changes immediately. The 2 weekly boys join the 2 that come twice a week and we get this pack mentality w/each boy wanting to be top dog. One hits another and in a blink of an eye, ALL the boys are rolling on the floor. We HATE Tues & Thurs!

And I'm not saying this to discriminate by saying only boys fight - girls can get that gang mentality going also - but they tend to do it with words or by exclusion.
