In secondary school my parents belonged to the same bridge club as my Principal and his wife and my biology teacher and the librarian were Mum's friends.
My primary school librarian lived down the road from us and was great friends with Mum and one of the Principals at the school used to be friends with my parents until someone complained to the Dept that he spent too much time socialising with the local snobbery and he was transferred to a different school.
Must have made things awkward for them since I was totally feral. Compared to me my son is an angel.
