[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s super obnoxious.

And if it makes you feel any better, both my kids went to a Catholic HS after elementary school and they were way ahead the kids who came from the parochial schools in math and language. In fact, at the year end prize ceremony in ninth grade, all of the winners of academic prizes had come from public. So, you may get to be smug back some day![/quote]

Ha!! I love that. The IEPs and behavioral issues bring strikes a nerve too because one of my DCs has an IEP... just seems really tone deaf. They aren't usually mean people so I don't get it.[/quote]

Wow this makes it even worse. Whatever academic “gains” these kids are making are likely watered down by the lack of empathy and social tact they are seeing in the home.

Also the fact they are so insistent on talking about this makes me think it’s a source of insecurity for them. People do not tend to ruminate on things they are happy and confident about. There is something about this switch to private that is making them feel the need to aggressively prove it was the right move. Like maybe they are having to cut back a lot of expenses to make this work so they really need it to be “worth it.” [/quote]
