[quote=Anonymous]My dd is at an 80% Hispanic school 65% farms. No big issues but there are some different cultural issues. No hispanic kids will come to her birthday parties and she’s never invited to theirs. I even asked one of the friend’s moms and she told me weekends were for family. The only other girls who we have playdates with and go to birthday parties for are other white, Asian and one AA girl. Kind of stung for a while and I felt like we weren’t being inclusive but it is what it is. We did invite them. About 1/4 of her K class spoke little to no English so that was challenging friends wise too. My dd has no idea that many of the kids are lower income. Most have better clothes than her and definitely better shoes. Teacher buys extra snacks for kids who are hungry and I told her not to take food she doesn’t need. I sent some boxes of snacks in too and any supplies the teachers need. We often have brand new teachers and there’s a high burnout. [/quote]
