[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is completely rude and insensitive when parents behave like mean 13 year olds, which is how they behave by hijacking school wide events (which should be the great levelers for inclusion for all students) by creating groups within the groups pre and post. These cliques should have their gatherings on dates other than big events many kids are excited about. Once the pre party pics are posted the outsiders feel excluded and the insiders turn even more inward. It's bad enough when it happens in high school but really obnoxious for parents of young kids to set the example early on. And for those readers who don't use FB that is always positive-- but the kids will all get the info and it is hurtful. Grow up parents and be a model of inclusion-- have your gatherings another time.[/quote]

This just happened at our school.  Whole grade social, but the cliquey moms had an after-party for their kids and then posted pics on FB. We had fun having a special dinner with our child after, and then got them to bed because they had sports in the morning.  The cool kids don't seem to play heavy sports as it conflicts with their ability to go on frequent vacations, where they can post additional FB pictures. [/quote]
