[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am still kind of stuck on the idea that you think there are "popular" kids in third grade. That is not consistent with what I see in my kids' school. I know you said it is small, but still!! Pretty much all the girls in my DD's class are friends in some capacity. Pretty much all the boys, same. [/quote]

3rd was when I started noticing a “cool” girls clique at my kids’ school. And when I started to notice some girls being excluded from that group as well. I didn’t notice it with the boys at that age, just different friendships and friend groups. “Cool”/“popular” for boys seemed to start later, like 4th-5th. I think with kids hitting puberty a little earlier these days, all this stuff that was more late elementary starts a few years earlier. [/quote]

My boys were always in the sporty popular group. I never even noticed the girls.

Now I have an elementary daughter in third grade. I don’t know if it is a popular group but there is definitely a not nice group. Unlike the boys who were at least sporty, these girls aren’t especially sporty or pretty. They are just kind of mean. I’m not sure if they should even be called popular.[/quote]
