[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your child want to do? She is old enough it is worth considering her opinion.  Does she want to go to public school where the classes should be big enough she could find ‘her people.’ Does she want a different private.  Hearing all the other girls in her class discuss parities she is not invited to is damaging.  [b]And, it says something about this group that they are not even kind enough not to talk about events in front of excluded kids. [/b] My suggestion is exit the school since you have proven it is not socially a good fit for her and there are many many other schools in our area. [/quote]

This is the big thing for me. She’s a new kid. It isn’t kindergarten when entire classes are invited so it’s not rude that she is not invited. But kids this age should know not to talk about parties in front of people not invited. And so it could get better. But this is why a larger school is better. No way would everyone invited to a party be in one classroom, there are tons of different groups and your kid wouldn’t know or wouldn’t care about being left out of something they aren’t a part of, and it’s harder to break into a group when there aren’t other people or even other options for her if she doesn’t like this group. I would never put my child in such a small setting like that unless we were already part of that community.

Social development is just as important as academic, may be more so these days. Don’t lose sight of that. [/quote]
