[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the downsides of private school —I am assuming private school - is moments where shyer or socially awkward kids will feel especially excluded since there can be more events where most of the class might be included since class size is small.  Please talk to your child about the fact this will happen.  He is not friends with the child having the event nor are you as an adult friends with the parents to the point they would think to include your child.   If your school has more than one Jewish child this could happen a number of times.  Talk to your child about how he can respond when other kids talk about the event so he has a script. And yes for sure take him to do something fun since this will be a night his friends are not available.  —- Also this might be a moment to think hard about if the school is a good fit for your child socially or if the school has a ‘mean’ culture.  If money and size of event are not a consideration then it is a bit small spirited to have included most/but not all of the class.  I known most of the bar and bat mitzvahs my kids attended effort was made to include all members of any certain social group when possible.  [/quote]
