    It’s important to at least know the other parents and if possible be friends. That’s how it’s supposed to work, groups of people who know and trust each other coming together to create a… oh gosh what’s the word for a group of like-minded locals who cooperate in social endeavors. Has that ever been done? Crazy stuff I know, but it sounds workable.
