[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to a parochial school last year and there's a trusting village atmosphere to it. It's small enough that everyone knows each other and kids call all the parents Mr. and Mrs. X. Parents feel comfortable asking other parents to drive to birthday parties and such, and scolding misbehavior if necessary. There are a lot of social events in order to keep these bonds tight. [b]There are a few families who keep to themselves and they are definitely judged for it[/b] because who wouldn't want to be part of a village??[/quote]

That's not a village, PP, it's a clique, and a mean one at that.  Families who don't conform are collectively judged?  Ew.[/quote]

I didn't say anything about conforming. I'm talking about avoiding eye contact, not saying hi to anyone, answering questions with one-word answers instead of having a conversation, not showing up to events. Least clique-y atmosphere I've ever been in.[/quote]

From your posts, it is easy to understand why they don't wish to associate with your judgemental and hateful village.[/quote]
