[quote=Anonymous]My sister ran into this in their private school. Sis is a single mom and not from the area, while the established group all grew up together.

They were making class requests, and even desk requests to create and sustain friendships. Teachers tried to ignore and children were separated the next year and the moms then focused on ensuring who was sitting near who during group lunch.

For all their efforts, it has not worked. There were two boys the woman were focused on as being the leaders, and trying to position their sons next to the two big dogs. Two big dogs hated each other, so they split and naturally developed their own friends. Big dog 1 is now best buddies with nephew and they are both total goofballs.

The kids didn’t care about the parent agendas. I’m sure some kids would be more easily swayed. Luckily, in this case big dog 1 was not involved (and likely unaware) of the attempt to get close to them for social ranking.

Bizarre. Unfortunately, I’m sure it will continue for years. [/quote]
