[quote=Anonymous]I think it comes down to finding your tribe. If you share similar interests, concerns, and energy levels, then interaction is less likely to be competitive.

I have had the poorest luck at Catholic schools where I was not a member of a parish near the school. Others weren't necessarily trying to be exclusive, but they had long-established social groups formed over years living in the same neighborhoods, worshipping together, volunteering together, having kids on the same sports teams, etc. They weren't necessarily feeling a need to invite a new person into their social circle.

I also find that some parents have a level of anxiety about achievement. They worry, for example, that a child struggling in one uit of middle school math will miss out on high school opportunities for STEM advancement and then be disadvantaged in college applications, thus starting adulthood on poor footing. This level of spiraling worry tends to contribute to less positive experience in the parent community. [/quote]
