[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: 21:02, thanks a lot. This is very helpful. I wanted to hear from other parents who've btdt, and how you feel if the schools seems like a great fit for dc, you you're not too sure about your own fit v-a-v the parent body. As i said previously, I'm 40 years old. I am happy with my life and with how I live my life. I don't care if I'm not invited to adult events or what the other parents think of my house/car/vacations. But my dc is 4. I don't want him to be excluded, etc. He might not be as resilient, no matter how I try to raise him, and I think I should consider these things now, as opposed to in a year or 2, after a potentially bad experience. thanks again.

PP, who has a child attending on  FA again. My DC has never been excluded, has been invited to many play dates and sleep overs, and all the birthday parties. DC's teachers have shared that DC is not just liked, but loved and admired by his classmates.

My pediatrician cautioned me about " lot's of wealthy families in that school" during the 3rd garde outplacement process ( referring to 4-12 school DC matriculated to). He said this because I had asked a question about the school ( an academic work load question, to which he responded with a socila climate answer) My response was, you mean DC's friends ?

Really, I think this is an adult hang up. What do the kids care about ? Will he throw the football to me ? Does he like to play soccer? Does he like comics ? Is he bossy ?

I have also noticed something else at DC's school: the people who have the real money are the most welcoming of all.[/quote]
