[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think class levels are that big of a factor. I used to worry about this. My kids range in age from 10th - college senior and it didn’t end up making a difference if some friends were more or less advanced academically. My youngest is sweet, serious and hardworking but due to stress has opted out of most APs and even some honors. Our school has a reputation for being a pressure cooker but he has 7 classes a day so there is still overlap with most friends in a class or 2 each. Kids he doesn’t see in class continue to walk home with him and have lunch with him. The friends he dropped have tended to be due to changes in interests and behavior. His friend group did shift a lot towards kids who share his sport but that was more about expanding his circle than replacing it. [/quote]
