[quote=Anonymous]Lot of thoughtful responses here, and I think you find that the experience can vary. Just wanted to offer one comment on the social aspect. We are also at a diverse, high FARMs school, and also don't have a ton of playdates. However, we came from a private preschool, and didn't have a ton of playdates from there, either! My kids do sometimes want to have kids over, but I also think that it has to do with personalities. My kids like their classmates, and whenever I am at the school I see warm friendly interactions between my kids and classmates, but it doesn't always translate to playdates. I think, at least for my kids, they enjoy having the weekend to just "chill out". When I was growing up, I never really needed/wanted a huge group of friends. I had 2-4 close friends, and that worked for me. As a child I attended both higher and lower income schools, and my approach to friendships was they same regardless of the school.[/quote]
