[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the flexible work schedule parents and someone who has been volunteering heavily at the school for several years now.

In terms of the 'cliquishness, 'I don't think of it in terms of 'popularity' or SAH vs WOH  R[b]ather for me, it has to do with politeness and kindness.  For example, making room in a conversation for a someone; greeting someone; initiating conversation with someone, having welcoming body language, talking with a variety of people at classroom celebrations instead of the same 3-4, etc.[/b]

I'm surprised that after all these years, I do still feel on the 'outside'; some of it has to do with what another poster said about if you differ about what support means or best for kids, etc.  Some of it has to do with maybe I just don't have a lot in common with the other parents.  Or maybe I'm just a big stick in the mud and no fun to be around.  Any way you slice it, I think a lot of it can be remedied with some courtesy and politeness.[/quote]

This exactly. I have actually greeted, smiled at fellow parents as we go in and out and have been ignored or else they look through me--multiple people multiple times men and women.  Friends at the school who don't fit the norm describe the same thing.  There is a indeed a lack of common courtesy thing. And I have been at multiple schools and never had this happen before. People are terribly wrapped up in themselves sometimes. So much they can't spare a hello.[/quote]
