[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the thread. But I'll offer my opinion. There are these groups that form from parents that kind of partly engineer that type of thing. But I steer clear of that whole thing - I am nice to them, but am perfectly happy to be outside that group. Because those little groups have sooooooo much drama. It's inevitable. The kids kind of learn it from the parents, who strategize on who is cool, are secretly competitive, actively try to form cliques, and talk about who is cool enough, and then try to become friends with the other cool kids, etc. It's kind of gross, but I know that's me being judge-y. In life, I generally avoid those big groups of cool people. I'm on the fringe of a few cool groups, but usually I am just close to just one or two from the group. I would like the same for our children. I don't want them in a big group of cliquey cool kid groups. That sounds like a nightmare. And it sounds like it's just asking for trouble. [/quote]
