On reflection, I think it's probably for the best if I let my kids make their own way through the social minefields of academia. 

What nobody mentions, however, is that it's a bit intimidating for new parents as well. At our/their old school, we knew everybody and drop-off/pick-up was quite a fun, gossipy, social occasion that would break up the monotony of having a staring competition with a sheep out of my office window.Who is the genius who first thought of Egg whisk up egg whites and sugar?
