Which makes our current system of isolating children by age group and then leaving them virtually un-attended look somewhat insane.

I've been amazed at how well my kids' teachers establish social norms in their classrooms, early in the school year. A single adult can be very effective at establishing an environment that promotes positive social interaction and behavior.
It takes a heroic person to achieve that in such an unnatural environment as a single-age classroom.
