[quote=Anonymous]Many moms at Holton are genuinely nice to everyone. But the social lines are drawn long before you step foot in the door and if you’re not part of that set, you’ll be an outsider—unless exceptionally sporty or outgoing. In some ways the moms’ niceness only makes things worse, because as a parent you think there’s a chance your child will be accepted. Chevy membership is the best indicator of which communities are likeliest to make a child feel invisible. I have a high-achieving daughter on the periphery of these groups (connected through a sport and preschool). It’s so tempting for me to send her to Holton or NCS for the academics and to avoid disruptive boys—but I just can’t make her vulnerable to preemptive exclusion based on our HHI and lack of social status.
