[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone w/ mixed white/asian kids at these schools that can share their experience? Hoping my kids will fit in.[/quote] My kids are mixed and they are treated as white by immigrant parents even though my kids speak 2 Chinese dialects fluently. I don't think the kids really care. They will fit in. Most people in this area are nice and welcoming. Most kids in elementary school are fine. It's the parents who do not invite kids play dates. They are standoff-ish and it may be a language barrier. Group birthday parties are fine. My kid has been invited a few times and they are all Asian kids. I am 2nd gen Asian (still speak native tongue and no accent) and the parents are cordial to me but I am not in the inner circle. it's cliquish. But there are other cliques too, Indian, Jewish, sports, etc. I am not included in the Lunar New Year get-togethers, they do not drop off moon cakes, and I am not part of the WeChat text group. etc. This is fine by me. There are tons of mixed kids here. They will fit in. Once kids hit MS, there is less parent interaction anyway, and by HS, none, especially once kids are driving. [/quote] You make it sound like it's some weird exclusionary group that dominates the school when it is not. It's just a normal sized group of friends who happen to have a lot of things in common. I have a number of parent friends who are 1st gen Chinese and they are not part of the WeChat either. Their child plays sports so they are more social with the sports parents since they are seeing each other every weekend every season for games. [/quote] There are different texts groups (like whatsapp) of parents who do not invite others to join too. Not sure why wechat group is attacked here. [/quote]
