[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW I’ve had kids in public and private and I have a hard time comprehending being “miserable” at the high school level because of the other parents. I am really sorry people feel this way, I just don’t understand how it even happens. I barely have contact with other parents by high school [b]aside from polite conversations at various events.[/b] Is this not the norm?[/quote]

OK, for the 100th time.

The thing is that the other parents ARE REFUSING TO HAVE POLITE CONVERSATIONS.

I'm one of the previous posters at a Big3 school that has a lot of social events/sporting events. 
I'm not looking to make my new BFFs.  But it sucks when at every game/parent event/BTS night, etc I get looked through like I don't exist by a large sector of the parents--including many I have met before (often multiple times).

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE POLITE CONVERSATIONS.  In fact, that's all i want.  THAT is the issue. 
There are schools (or grades within schools) where a decent chunk of the parent body will not talk to others unless they are of a certain financial/social standing.  As in, they won't even have a 2 minutes chit-chat.
