[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in a smallish private, there are lots of girls who aren’t part of this group. Your daughter could spend time getting to know them.

I’m a teacher and when I have seen this happen, there are usually plenty of perfectly lovely kids who would be happy to be nice to the newly excluded kid. The issue is usually that SHE (or he, my school is coed) isn’t interested in friends who aren’t in the top social tier. Hopefully that’s not your child.

Twice, I’ve been pleased to see an excluded cool kid develop a really nice friendship with a student outside of the clique, only for said cool kid to drop the new friend like a hot potato when the social tables turned and the excluded kid was welcomed back. That was disappointing.

Eh. Many of these "perfectly lovely kids" exclude kids below their own social tier. And they'd happily drop their whole posse if the cool crowd came knocking. People arevas lovely as their options. [/quote]

And many wouldn’t because they have a loyal group of friends they have much in common and have great times when they’re together.   [/quote]
