Is this strange or what?

I hardly ever do school runs as my ds goes to the breakfast and afterschool club, but I picked him last week and got talking to another mum.

1st, she asked me what extra curricular activities my ds does,I thought that was a reasonable question. She later asked me bluntly what levels he got in year 2 Sats!!! I thought that was really ridiculous. It was the 1st time I was having a chat with her. What difference does it really make anyway. She then went on to tell me what levels other kids in the class got!

Do people really talk about these things or is it really as strange as I think it is?

Now I wish I didn't tell her, I'd have preferred to be the 'mystery' mum!!!

Never had a talk on the school run re levels or similar and DD is in Y5 now. And that is at a fairly academic prep school. Everyone seems to have more interesting things to chat about even if it is just their plans for the weekend, rather than what their child's latest mark is.
