[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Devil's advocate: [b]he can still be friends with his public school pals even if he continues to go to this school.[/b] If friendships are the only issue right now, I would not be switching schools. The pandemic has made everything social less so, and our kids aren't hanging out with new families. They are with people we know and trust. [/quote]

Quite surprisingly this piece isn't playing out as we'd assumed. :([/quote]

Kids also are changing my a lot. Our DS was drifting from friends, and you have to remember the core lesson of “Good Boys” — childhood friendships are neighbors and friends of your mom; teen and adult friendships are chosen by each member based on interests and personality. But that process of selection takes a LOT longer, and still has elements of proximity.  Friendship has a 10,000 hours element of it, where you have to just have hours of unstructured time with potential friendships to germinate.
