[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the parent community matters. You end up interacting with them and their children will end up engaging with yours ( or not if it’s cliquish and think your family does not fit etc.)[/quote]

Why do you end up interacting with them?  Why is it different than public school?   Are you joining a social club or a school?[/quote]

You don’t get it if you are not in a top private. There are games 1-2 times a week you attend with other parents and events at the school 1-2 times per month at least in addition to these are the kids and families affecting your kids. It matters. [/quote]

This is only true at younger ages.  This is NOT the case for parents joining a HS in 9th grade.  There will be parents you never see until graduation.  Especially at schools with high profile and VIP families. I met some lovely families at our school and there were clearly others who never attended, but they didn't want to get to know anybody new by 9th anyway.  No loss for me.[/quote]
