[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is the big thing for me. She’s a new kid. [b]It isn’t kindergarten when entire classes are invited so it’s not rude that she is not invited.[/b] But kids this age should know not to talk about parties in front of people not invited. And so it could get better. But this is why a larger school is better. No way would everyone invited to a party be in one classroom, there are tons of different groups and your kid wouldn’t know or wouldn’t care about being left out of something they aren’t a part of, and it’s harder to break into a group when there aren’t other people or even other options for her if she doesn’t like this group. I would never put my child in such a small setting like that unless we were already part of that community.

Social development is just as important as academic, may be more so these days. Don’t lose sight of that.[/quote]

Except OP said that all of the other girls in the class WERE invited.  It's rude to exclude only one or two kids. I don't understand how any parent does not get this - our rule was always if you are inviting more than 50% (of a class/team, etc.), you need to invite all. Teach your kids to be decent humans and have empathy for others.[/quote]
