Abstract
There are two groups of children who may be classified under the general label of "social isolates": those who are actively rejected, and those who are neglected or overlooked. Rejected children are often characterized as aggressive, disruptive, bothersome, and defiant, and they are seen in a categorically negative light as misfits in the social matrix of the classroom. Though typically less than welcome, their social standing is unmistakable.
