[quote=Anonymous]^^Agree. Some of this I think is based on how your school district structures groups. My kid's ES had 500 kids. There were 4 classes of about 25-30 each for his grade. But since 2 of those classes were TWI, he was in classes with the same 50 kids or so for 6 years. Maintaining friendships isn't so difficult and doesn't require a lot of effort when you see the same kids all the time. His MS, with 800 kids from 3 different ESs, has a policy of sorting kids into 3 or 4 cohorts for scheduling purposes, with a mix of kids from all 3 schools, so it's possible you won't see many of your former friends in classes. That, plus kids' evolving interests, changing activities, and parents no longer around to facilitate get-togethers puts a strain on those relationships, especially for kids (like mine) who aren't as naturally outgoing.
