[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the pushback on pods is anything more than agitation for the kids who can’t have them. It’s a good thing. You want people to be upset about inequity. You can still have your pod. There won’t be any consequences. I think you’re way overstating the impact of people’s general upset about the situation on you personally. I get why - it’s uncomfortable to think about how you can afford to make this situation better for your kids and it feels better to be angry/wounded about people attacking you than it does to feel shitty about abandoning the team boat (which is sinking anyway, make no mistake). What you need to do is get comfortable with your decision and then try to be generous in your dealings with other people and probably keep the specifics of what you’re spending private.

The only solution is to get the virus under control. Pods are like 12 steps down the road and the truth is that it doesn’t really matter what parents do to cope when the actual problem is still a problem.

Frankly people DO feel this way about private schools, but there aren’t as many situations where people might be having a conversation about the public school and you chime in with “I’m spending $40k a year to go to private.” If you did, you might catch some feedback. But as in your current situation, it wouldn’t actually harm you or prevent you from using the private school even if you decided you had been victimized. [/quote]
