[quote=Anonymous]Summer swim team cliques are a thing in May and September at our school. Very few kids in our area do summer swimming because of long wait lists by us, save for a group of local parents who have inherited sponsored country club memberships. That group gets really excited about themselves in K-3rd grade but it wears off quickly. As for Girl Scouts, it’s the opposite of a clique. We have a troop at our school that is multiage and always begging for new members. It’s a fun activity that people just aren’t into in our school community. But at some schools it becomes a big mom-led clique, because troops are completely led by volunteers. Sometimes those volunteers use adult:child ratios and other bureaucratic hurdles that officially exist for safety reasons but twist them for their own purposes. They to will “close” a troop to newcomers so they don’t have to lead difficult girls, girls their daughters aren’t friends with, or girls whose parents they don’t like. [/quote]
