[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally understand the OP. This also happens in DC when families start at Public Schools and then switch over to Charters. Even though all families live in DC in creates a strain for families who don’t want to switch or don’t get selected in the lottery. By the time kids are in first or second grade, they are the only family or two that started in a Preschool. It’s tough socializing on this level too.

Are you lonely or is your child lonley?  It's normal to miss the old friendships, but there are obviously new children filling those seats.  Are you making an effort to get to know the new families?[/quote]

New families don’t transfer to DC Public Schools after 1st and 2nd grade! After K, you’re stuck with the OOB kids who are using relatives addresses and don’t live in the neighborhood. This is why parents really try to get placed in HRCS before Kindergarten because there is generally ZERO movement after that. Then your kids really don’t have friends with similar interests outside of school.[/quote]
