[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids can make neighborhood friends even if they are not enrolled in the neighborhood schools. Our kids go to privates, but after school and on the weekends play with neighborhood kids, we are members of our community pool and our daughter is in a neighborhood girl scout troop. Don't let the fear of not having neighborhood friends scare you away from privates if you feel its the best fit for your kids. [/quote] This is our experience too. Our neighborhood is full of kids ranging up and down the block. Remember that even within the public system kids go to other schools pretty early: immersion at K, TPES magnet in grade 1. Then HGCs at grade 4 followed by magnets for middle and high school. Some kids peel off for private. It's not an either/or thing when it comes to neighborhood friends. [/quote]
