What is your daughters difficulty Cy and how do you think it will be better? Is she just more down to earth than her peers?
Interesting comments about private schools on this thread. The pecking order stuff happens everywhere though. We just have to be involved and do the best we can with it whatever our supposed positions in it are.
What FLU was saying made me think of an experience I had in public school. I was a welfare kid. I move into a new school in the 7th grade and joined the band. I went from 3rd chair trumpet to first in a semester. Would that have been permitted in a private school or even a “good” school district?Do parents really go “mano a mano” over this stuff?Maybe the other ghetto kids just couldn’t relate to Burt Bacharach?
Also made me think…If your kids are snubbed by the majority rich(er) kids do they migrate to the worst of the worst in the private schools?Of course, that depends on the family to some degree. They could potentially have great friends in public schools without running a as much of a pecking order gauntlet?
