I think some of the parents were responsible for any friction that took place behind the scenes. I remember reading somewhere that there was jealousy and rivalry between some of parents, and as a result, this negative behavior rubbed off on the children. It's just sad to see innocent children being caught in the middle of adult warfare.
In his book, Jackie described himself as an "affectionate" kid. But because of the politics and conflicts that were going on behind the scene on the Rascal set, he probably had to set aside being the nice kid and show the "bossy" side to his personality to let them know that he wasn't going to be taken advantage of.

Apparently, Spanky and Scotty didn't get along too well. The teacher, Fern Carter, had to break them up a lot in class. Really? That's funny in a twisted sort of way I'll bet Scotty started most of 'em! Where did you hear that?

I also heard that Alfalfa and Spanky didn't like each other. Maybe that is because Alfalfa was so tempramental, but maybe Spanky was a bit big-headed because of his hand in so many films.

My recollection is that Tommy Bond mentioned Spanky and Scotty in his autobiography. It might be, though, that they were pals anyway. After all, even best friends fight with each other when they're five years old.

You're tellin' me! Little kids are like that, the kids on my street are friends but are always fighting. They are getting older and the whole "melodrama" is starting to dawn on them.
