[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is at an all girls school that does pre-first, which means there can be a wide age gap. My DD, who is one of the oldest, hangs out with a lot of girls who are at least a year younger because they have similar interests. In fact, you would not be able to guess ages by who talks about bras, boyfriends, social media. And mean girls and drama queens will act unpleasantly regardless of their ages.

If you look for issues, surely you’ll find them but correlation does not equal causation and your DD may end up best friends with one of the oldest DDs, like mine who was last in her class to get an iPhone.

Either let it go or have her repeat but the endless hand wringing you are setting yourself up for is unhealthy and unhelpful for you or your DD. [/quote]

So you have a DD who is one of the oldest but think you can speak of the experience of OP who has one of the younger kids? Well, you can't.

I have an older girl whose interests skew younger as I mentioned in an earlier post. Sure she was picked on by some of the older kids who have older subs, but that was nothing compared to the treatment the truly younger girls got.

She has a third choice you didn't mention. She can try another school.
