[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the social stuff work if everybody is taking long bus rides to school? How do the kids get together to socialize outside of school? It seems like a lot of kids would just be too geographically spread out. How does it work?[/quote]

On their phones, just like with the non-magnet kids.[/quote]

You don't need a phone for stuff like Google Hangouts.[/quote]

Mine did Google Hangouts with friends in elementary magnet because most of them had Chromebooks, now they use group chats in middle school. (Interestingly, the elementary friend group was split up when they went off to middle school, but they still occasionally keep in touch via the old Google Hangout.)

Had a flip phone in 6th, and proved responsible enough to get a smartphone (with some restrictions set) in 7th.

But even if they live next door, most middle school kids don't have time for a lot of in-person socializing during the week. On weekends, parents drive or older magnet kids will take public transportation. Usually they do their casual chatting over text, and only get together in person if there's some specific activity they want to do. I gather this is the case for a lot of tweens/teens, not limited to magnet kids?[/quote]
