Should I change schools

My daughters go to a school that they are happy in, have good friends. I'm becoming increasingly cheesed off with the behaviour of other children, they are to grown up for their age, and generally rough. Primary schools in my area are segregated on religious grounds ( with the nice affluent, articulate kids, middle class parents) sending their kids to c of e schools in semi-rural locations. I'm sick of all these rough types ruining my kids childhood with there poorly brought up brats. Should I move them? I know it may seem like I'm a snob but I just expect no swearing, respectful play and speech and no overtly sexualised behaviour.

Do you think it's possible that your naice midfle class kids might be just as vile as the "rough" kids? Believe it or not, but some free school meal kids are from lovely families and some rich kids are spoilt brats used to having no boundaries and constantly having their own way.

Lol... If you sent your children to an exclusive private school they would experience plenty of swearing, sexualised behaviour and possibly smoking and drugs. There are plenty of rotten apples amongst rich kids.

If you have a problem with a particular child then I suggest you speak to the school. It is likely there will be rough kids wherever your children go to school.

Do you have the problem, or do your kids?
My kids also went to an inner city primary, very mixed intake, with some children from very poor backgrounds. Never had a problem like the one you describe. A good primary school can have a big positive effect on children, whatever their background.

My DS goes to a similar sounding school, we are SE London so no choice of school, you get your nearest school whether you want it or not.

The children are all very diverse, there isn't one family "like" us, no one I can really have a friendship with but DS is happy, has lovely friends and is doing really well so I am happy for him.

If your DD are happy then I would leave them, they might come across a horrible "middle class" brat at another schoolWink
