[quote=Anonymous]How can kids connect with other kids during the school day? In her huge middle school (6th grade) my daughter (and her peers say the same) seems to only know the kids they knew before school started. They can't talk in class, they're rushed in the hall transitions and they can't choose who they sit with at lunch. What are some ways to meet new people at school? It seems like pre-formed cliques are just staying together, unfortunately. I understand the benefit of non-school peer groups from after school activities. My daughter did a sixth grade sports team and liked it BUT half the team went to school together and all the other kids (except for my DD) joined the team with a friend. It makes things tough! The only kids in our neighborhood her age are boys. [/quote]
