Did your child keep the same friends from elementary when they went to middle school?

It's more than you realize, and yet they all survive the ordeal of having to start from zero in making new school friends. If you think everyone stays in the same feeder school pipeline, you are living in a bubble of privilege.

Yes, that's true, but not all kids move around a ton. I can't necessarily control it or force it, but I would hope that my kids would have some lifelong or childhood long friends.
