[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started in public and moved to private. DD has a strong group of friends she made in the girl scout troop that serves her public school, and that she stayed in after changing schools. But she made no lasting friends from the classroom. The classes are big and it's hard for parents of classmates to meet each other. No classmates lived on our street so there weren't friends on the bus ride. Our public school did not share a class list or do anything to facilitate families meeting. Honestly the things that build community are smaller groups with adult involvement, like scouts, sports, and church, and neighborhoods where people are out and about.[/quote] OP here. I really appreciate this. We aren’t religious, so we don’t have a faith based community to join — but could consider registering the kids for scouts. They are just starting a sport class[/quote]
