My son has one kid in his class who is best friends with. They play all the time together, they have playdates and they even had a sibling at the same time. They have loads in common and i think the only reason my son likes his nursery is because of his friends. Sadly i hear they plan to split the class up next year and they will deffinately split my son and his 2 friends up into different classes. I see why they do this, but i also don't understand why the school will purposefully split up friends, especially if it's the one thing that is what keeps the kid going to school. Anyone else have a similar situation? I wonder if i can speak to the school about it, if they will listen or not. |

I would talk to the school if it means that much to him. It's nursery for crying out loud!! However, going by my own experience, my dd has 2 BFF. One since the 2's class, and they've been together for 3 years now. Separating them would not be terrible. They fight like sisters and could really use some apart time. Her other BFF that she had from the time she was 8 weeks old and he went to a new school last year. I thought she'd be heartbroken, but honestly... she thrived and made new friends. You can talk to the school, but chances are, they've seen this before and know what they are doing. |

we seperate my daughter and her cousin who are in the same grade. they are either best friends or fighting so it is just not worth it. if your son and his friend don't fight then i don't see why they need to be seperated |

we had this problem last year - but ds ended up sticking it out and continues to be buddies with the same little guy. They see each other on Shabbos, some Sundays and in the summer. It works out. I think they will be friends forever (IY"h). |

DS had 2 best frinds last year (girls!). He still talks about them, although he hasn't seen them for a while and they don't go to the same gan. I tried keeping in touch with the parents but they didn't return the effort... He's in a bigger group of kids now but I can see some new friendships emerging. He did fine whithout having them around. |

Imho, I don't see why they shouldn't listen to you. Especially, if you will explain the situation and come up with a good reson. Telling them that the only reason your son goes to school is those 2 boys may upset the teachers, but if you stress that your son, bc of his personality will suffer w/out his friends; or the stress of a new baby & taking friends away will be too much for him; or some other reason that doesn't offend or reflect negatively on school, with some heavy complimenting - should do the trick. I hope. |

Thanx all. I am hoping that the two classes will still go out to play at break at the same time, then i don't see it as a big deal as it would probably mean they will get their work done without messing around. I shall see what happens. If it does cause problems next year then i will speak to the school about it. I just remember when he started this school this year he hated it and cried everyday because he didn't know the teachers, he didn't have his friends from his last place and it was strange to him. We shall see what happens. Hopefully they will not split them two. But speaking to his friend's mother she says they will deffinately split the trio, so how they will do that i have no idea. |
