[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, have never heard of this.  Ever.[/quote]

Not have I and I suspect OP is totally exaggerating. They were reading through the lists and saying, “Oh, Reed is in Ms. Bing’s class, Chase is in Ms. Scooby’s class.”  Maybe those kids were with their kids in K and they got along. [/quote]

OP here. Not exaggerating at all. The convo when as follows. “Oh Jake is in my sons class and he said he was the most popular kid last year, let’s invite him to our next playgroup.” “My son says Noah is the best at baseball and hockey. We should invite his mom to our group.”  On and on down the list [/quote]

This is so weird.  I have a 2nd grader and have never once discussed the "popularity" of other kids.  I'm a SAHM and pretty involved at the school and this just doesn't ring true.  And the school is one oft-maligned by DCUM for being snobby.  I know there is social engineering done by parents, but not because "my son said Jake was the most popular kid in K."  And if kids and their parents are openly talking like that, please call the school and arrange a meeting with the school counselor and principal – because that is not even remotely age-appropriate and should be addressed.
