[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In retrospect, I feel lucky that I experienced this intensely at a top preschool, because it led us to a decidedly not clubby private. I had never been in an environment where people literally wouldn’t respond to a greeting at pickup because you had nothing to offer them socially.

There are times when I wonder if my DCs are missing out on some of what’s to offer at a Beauvoir or St. Pat’s because I wasn’t willing to “pay the price,” but the feeling of lightness that comes from not dealing with (some of) those parents has been worth it.

It is important especially during the younger years when playdates and social things between kids are organized by parents. We did the same for k-8 (went with a very low key and friendly school) and now at big 3 type school for high school. My kid has been surprised by the snooty behavior and some of the girls ignoring her, but the nice girls all know which girls to avoid, I'm sure it is the same for boys, etc, and they avoid the snooty kids. 
It feels nice to just socialize with nice people. Life is too short.[/quote]
