This is going to look messy, but I had to block for privacy. One small excerpt from a giant FB post.. a fellow school mom ranting.. I’m surprised at how many joined in.
Our school is cliquey, more so the parents than the kids..which in turn segregates the kids. T is athletic and friends with most.. but even he has been excluded from flag invites since he quit football. He would love to play.. I always tell him that we don’t have time, not that he didn’t get invited.
I understand keeping a team together/parent cliques together in the winter, but the problem people have is -don’t call it a school team with the school’s name on the jersey if you are excluding the majority of the grade.

I’m definitely one of the sports parents.. but not at that level.. and not to the point where I exclude other kids.. I invite every single 3rd grader to play on my winter teams. I had no idea that so many parents felt this way. I’m wondering if this mom’s post made anyone realize that what they’re doing is wrong.
