As the parent of a child who is in the group identified as "intelligent people", I wholeheartedly disagree. No rubbing elbows, shoulders or tushies with the hoi polloi for us!

Maybe you shouldn't be able to choose who to marry or to befriend, because that's discriminatory and insulting. Maybe you shouldn't be able to choose to buy a Coke, because that's a form of discrimination against Pepsi.

Being that education is the goal of schooling I can see where some might focus on intelligence. And there are schools for just females/males. Lots of school districts have experimented with this.

"Gifted" is how NYC keeps educated, MC families in its public schools. Otherwise they would flee to the burbs or private schools. We all know that "gifted" (in the 4 yo context) generally means a student who has had some type of school preparation, comes from a family that values education, and will behave in class. Naturally, these families want their kids in classes with similar kids.

I would email her back and let her know that you're annoyed, and that you refrained from making other plans because she wanted you to spend the weekend at her house and now four days before the weekend, she's canceling? I would be pissed too.

Depends. Do you think there's more to it than her feeble excuse, and perhaps she just doesn't want to tell you the real reason? If so, no reason to make her feel worse about it. If she's always like this, then lesson learned - you can't depend on her. You'll know next time not to accept her invitation.

ITA unless it's something you know they want in advance, or maybe if you are an artist and paint something for them specifically. But even then, you can't be offended if they don't hang it up.

Artwork is so personal and reflective of an individual that I think it is rude to even presume that someone would want a painting as a gift unseen.

Don't even go that far. You should have told your common "friend," "If Margie has something to say to me, I'm sure she'll tell me herself." And leave it at that. Margie is rude for expecting you to hang her gift and rude for discussing it behind your back and your other friend is rude for passing on the passive-aggressive message.
