[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in high school and one in middle school in a moderately high SES. Both kids do travel sports. The cliques have largely dissipated- parents are now older, busy, and the kids want to orchestdate their own social lives. The cliques were at their worst during the preschool and elementary years. There were a lot of stay at home moms with too much time on their hands- there were moms groups connected to schools and so a lot of people knew each other from when kids were first born. Its also an area where people grew up and returned to raise their kids. It made me feel like being in middle school all over again- to be honest it was terrible. I'm so glad those days are over with...the dynamics felt suffocating. I feel for those who feel excluded from the cliques. [/quote]
