[quote=Anonymous]1. MS DD is still learning how to balance “school friends” and “neighborhood friends” and what to do when worlds collide 
2. It’s not as easy to just get the kids together. Both our kids are used to roaming the neighborhood, with limits, but none of their school friends live in our neighborhood. It’s especially hard when we have off and other schools don’t
3. All the parents are always there. For whatever the thing is. So if for some reason I can’t go - big work meeting, travel, etc - I feel terrible. Never felt that way in public bc all the parents never went to xyz

It’s interesting and terrifying to hear about the mean girl cliques. DD has encountered some mean behavior, both in public and private, and U’ve noticed that she is actively working through things more, using her words more, etc in private. Now that the pond is 1/4 the size of our public, she can’t just retreat to a different group when things get weird. I will say that she isn’t actively being bullied - that might be different. But a smaller group is forcing them all to learn how to get along. Through my rose colored glasses anyway. [/quote]
