[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you in this case. In our case, we live right on the other side of a line dividing a wealthier cluster in Montgomery County from a less wealthy one. We love our school and feel it's right for our kids but frequently endure neighbors who insist they would do anything to keep their kids out of our (comparatively but not actually impoverished) school. Given that the school is actually quite good, I suspect they are trying to convince themselves their massive real estate investments were worth it to live in the other cluster. In your case, if you are close with this friend and want to remain close, you can either bite your tongue and know she is wrong, or you can kindly but directly point out to her that you in fact value education and love your child and believe your school is a good one and feel the need to defend it. If you are not too close with her, the friendship may need to peter out, since school will become a larger part of yours and the kids' lives in the next few years and you will continue to clash. Good luck.[/quote]
