[quote=Anonymous]As we approach re-enrollment, I am more and more skeptical about keeping our child at their private school. The year has been good for kid so far, and there are lots of things I appreciate about the school (like hours of time outside daily). BUT, it is a not-insignificant financial sacrifice for us AND the parent community as a whole is exceedingly demanding, controlling, cliquish, and petty, which is bleeding over into the "feel" of the school. Parents are pitting children against each other and against certain teachers, petitions are circulating, the administration is in flux, etc. Kid has made a good friend and I have made connections with at least a couple of like-minded families. But still... the bad vibes are making me reconsider. Child has friends at local public, so the switch, while challenging to me in terms of pedagogical / philosophical alignment, would likely be just fine for kid. Would this be enough to make you switch? [/quote]
