But as more of a response here, yes, mages can theoretically be more dangerous - specifically as children - than non-mages. But let's set aside the fact that you should be smarter than to pick on something that could spontaneously light on fire, the fact that the mage child could easily make his point just by conjuring a flickering flame in his hands and if they don't stop picking on him at that point it's kinda their own fault if they get some burn scars.
Mage children would need special training and education. They need the kind of attention they get from mentors and masters in the circle. But that doesn't mean that they couldn't get this training, say, during school hours or after-school hours, and be free to be part of the city population outside of this. If they're taught from the first sign of magic, they should be able to control it. As it is many parents, upon learning that their child is a mage, cling to them and hide them away for fear of losing them, as with Connor. Letting them stay at home, giving them special education from there, would eliminate the problems that go with this situation. No more Templars being sent in to rip a teenager from their home because their home tutoring went wrong, no more farmlands being set aflame because Wynne hadn't gone to the circle.
Not to mention that these kids picking on mages is mostly caused by fear - not true fear of their powers, but fear planted in them from Chantry discrimination against the mages.
No. I don't believe it would work. But I believe it's the only hope of co-existance left.
