It's exciting when a group of friends sign up for a class together. The friendship, familiarity, and emotional safety were there from the very start. It's great for people who are friends.
But if you were in the class with this group of friends, your experience might be different. You face the decision to either join what has been established (without you) or establish the new norm in the classroom.
Building a new thing is never easy, but it is possible. Before you make a change, understanding what's not working will be helpful.
