[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child goes to a focus school. I think a lot of interesting insight has already been covered. One point I want to touch on is the trouble we have in reaching out to other families. There is no school directory. They tried to do one last year and we were the only people who submitted contact information for the class. So for example birthday party invitations are a logistical challenge. I want to set up play dates for my child with his friends but I have run into a couple problems. One is that some of the parents don't seem receptive to them and the other issue is the awkwardness of having an initial conversation with another parent about things such as (no violent movies with curse words and do you have a gun and if so is it unloaded and locked up)

[b]I had to tell my child that he couldn't go to someone's house because they wanted to watch The Purge which is a horror movie. My son is 6! [/b][/quote]

This is interesting because we've had similar issues!  In first grade, DS wanted to go over to a friends' house to watch Fast and Furious 7 (or one of those?).  The kid had already watched it a few times with his dad!

I'm the PP - should have said that we are at a Focus School and we definitely do find that some parents do seem to be more lenient as far as movies/TV at a younger age.  [/quote]
