[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer PP ? - my DS is very happy at his new school, it's very diverse, class of maybe 14, and all colors of the rainbow.  The blend and interact just fine, first couple months of school he got invited to several b'day parties.  At the other school every day was a chore, never got invited to parties, and just pure hell by the other boys.

This is where it gets interesting.  DD is very comfortable in the W world since that is all she knows.  She has no problem being the only one in the class or any setting.  It gets tricky is when she and a few of her friends go out, let's say a night at the rink where they meet some cute guys.  Like lil girls they all have crushes on these guys, but of course she will always be over looked and would question herself.  I have to keep reminding her that it's not her and that people would first always gravitated to their own kid until they get to know you.  Thres's so much I could write, but I won't bore you..[/quote]

I appreciate what you've shared so far. You're DS's school sounds wonderful. I may be pushing my luck, but is it a private or public school? I'm asking because we'd like to find a private school with that kind of diversity. (I'm guessing your DS's school is private because of its class size.)

Like your DD, I'm very comfortable in the W world, too. I understand how she feels, since I went through that until 5th grade.[/quote]. It's a small catholic school that goes from k-8 in upper MC. And not everyone is catholic including my DS. Praying to saints and the rosary is all new to him. At first there were tons of questions and even tears. The teArs came one day when the kids were told to prAy and their request would be answered. Well he took it literally and burst into tears when he didn't get the answer he prayed for. He thought Jesus didn't like him and refused to listen. I had to explain and comfort him. He understands now.....[/quote]
