I have namechanged jic.
My DS2 is just about to go in to Y6. He will be sitting the exam for the selctive boys' grammar that DS1 goes to. His friend, lets call him P, goes round in an intense gang of 3 boys and 2 girls. DS2 is happily peripheral to this group and joins in occasionally, and I am friends with P's mum.
Now, the problem.
P is exceptionally clever and his parents want him to go to the grammar (P's dads old school). P wants to stay with this gang, none of whom want to go to the grammar, and they are all happy to go to the local school where all their siblings attend. (P is an only child). The other school is a very good school as well. But P will be booked in for the exam shortly, and his mum fully expects him to pass and wants to deal with the seperation issues when they arise.
P has confided with my DS2 that he's playing along with his mum and dad's wishes, but will not put any effort in on the day in order to flunk the test and therefore go to the same school as these important friends.
So, AIBU to mention this to my friend so that she has time to talk to P about all this?
