Today I found out that my son will be the ONLY boy in his Kindergarten class. He attends a really small Lutheran school there's only 52 students in the whole school K-8. There will be 7 girls in the class, I'm not sure how I feel about him to the only boy, my husband seems to think it's OK. what do u think ladies??
it's kind of odd but it wouldn't bother me. If it's a good school that is all that should matter.
I think that is a shame... :(
My kiddos are friends with boys and girls - but that would really bother them.
Realistically, he needs other boys to play with. Girls do things differently than boys. He needs playmates that are more interested in bugs than barbies. JMO though.
Is there not another school in the area that he could attend? I know you're probably wanting him in that private, religious setting (I went to a Christian Prep school, so I understand) but I feel like he needs male interaction as well. Like I said, JMO.
It also depends on your child personality. Some kids couldnt care less who they play with. But the bigger question is this: what happens next year? The problem with small schools like that (I know my kids were in one too) is that the kids don't change often. There is little turnover. So if you have great friends, you're good. If you don't, it can be many years of misery.
Am I overreacting?
