[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covid has nothing to do with that issue. It’s common at privates with a small number of students and parents who are seemingly cliquey who seek private school. This is very evident at my child’s private and parents can be nice but have their group and don’t need to expand it. Especially, very especially the families with students who have older siblings already have this figured out before even starting at the school. The only children don’t really have a fair chance and it’s more difficult. [/quote]

I'm sorry this was your experience. We are one of those established families with older children. However, I became very good friends with the parent on an only child in my youngest daughter's class.  Also, there is a huge age gap between my first and second child, so he was like an only for several years.  In our school (Big 3) there are tons of only children.  Perhaps its because the parents tend to be on the older side. Maybe this is more an issue in catholic schools where families are bigger based on beliefs?[/quote]
