[quote=Anonymous]I think this is best applied to middle school years. When you've known your classmates since you were 4-5 and have been a small group for years, there's not much interest in dating. Plus, there's recess in grades 6-8. And being in the same building with k-5 keeps you a little innocent. I loved when the big kids got to read with their buddies and when they sat with them at mass. Then there's the lack of vaping, swearing and talking back. Not saying that's rampant elsewhere, but it's nonexistent at most small catholic k-8s. This is also said with some smugness from some parents because they hold off on phones way longer and control social media/screen time. But I don't know how true that is anymore. Seems our catholic k-8 younger families aren't keeping the same line on that. [/quote]
