No need to be rude about it.  Kids in different areas have different cultures.  As an ex-Californian, my best friend in my new Pennsylvania middle school was another ex-Californian.  We're still friends today even though she returned to California.

I came to PA from a MoCo "W school" feeder middle school that was pretty nasty.  I later chose not to raise my kids in the DCUM heartland because of that.  Even though I enjoyed living and working in the DMV as a young adult.  I've found parents on here that say my old middle school is still nasty for the same reasons it was 40 years ago.  It's validating.

I live in the Rust Belt Midwest now.  My quality of life is great.  But I am a bit non-Midwest for this area.  I have two kids born here[b] so I see how they indoctrinate kids firsthand[/b].

People have different life experiences.  If OP's kid wants to GTFO of Missouri, then help her.[/quote]

What kind of indoctrination are you talking about?[/quote]

PP.  "Midwest Nice"  (which is not always that nice...)

It doesn't summarize easily but I've seen a lot of stuff in the public schools that tracks with the behaviors of my local work colleagues.  Stuff I never encountered in California, Maryland, or Pennsylvania.[/quote]

Now you are just making up things
