Why it’s important to know your child’s friends at school (and their parents).

We are all born with what the political scientist Robert Putnam calls “bonding social capital” – a sense of belonging to our family or other people with shared cultural norms. But it requires deliberate and continuous efforts to create the kind of “bridging social capital” through which we can share experiences among diverse groups, and expand our sphere of trust to include strangers. Societies that value bridging social capital and pluralism have generally been more innovative and productive because they can draw on the best talent from anywhere, build on multiple perspectives, and nurture creativity and innovation. This may hold for schools, too.
