DC and 4 friends from EMS ended up going back to home high school. They are besties for life. Plus DC has run into other EMS alums in college - it’s an instant bond. At EMS they find their peeps.
Maybe some do. Mine did not. Social gatherings are so much harder because they are spread out.
Do you have a boy? Having similar experience.
No, girl.
I read here often that kids find their people at Eastern. Maybe they just weren’t her people. I don’t know. They were often competitive and talked too much.
This is DC's feeling as well. Glad it's not just DC.
Ditto for my kid. Some of those kids are just obnoxious and don't know when to shut up. Their parents should have invested in a social skills class.
DC says classmates are generally kind (their description) and not very different from the kids at the home school. DC also says we did the right thing sending them there.

So my kid actually wanted to go despite the early time. It wasn’t my call at all. Thanks for being as a$$ though.
