My child’s kindergarten class is very clique-y already. Mine has friends in other classes and is friendly generally, so it’s not an issue but I don’t remember this growing up. Is this more common in this generation, or have kids this age have always been clique-y and I just wasn’t aware?

My daughter is in first grade and tells me how another girl in her class is popular. I agree I don’t think I even knew what that meant at that age. It’s so sad and scary to think about what’s coming 😞

I’ve observed similar when I go volunteer and just watch kids interact. You can tell. I think it’s human nature that some kids gravitate towards favorite friends but it seems a different vibe now.

Not aware haha it’s unfortunately a thing that has persevered through generations

Haven’t observed this at all yet (mine is in 2nd) but also not sure I know what you mean. It is natural for kids to gravitate to others and maybe form closer play groups within a bigger class. I wouldn’t say that’s clique-y.

That’s true, but I’ve observed them excluding others. It’s interesting to watch kids in the class, and it’s subtle.

My concern is that here in Indiana, I have taught in 3 different districts over 21 years in traditional high schools & have not ever had a student teacher or Practicum observer in my computer lab classroom. The last school I left for my current career center dropped the computer science courses I spent 10 years building and refining all together. No qualified CTE teachers available. 🤷‍♂️
