It's because there are a lot of prospective parents out there, as well as private school parents who are dissatisfied with their private school and might be ready to leave for greener pastures: both groups want to know which school to trust and want to know every detail. Even if some gossip might be fabricated, people tell each other that there's no smoke without fire.

And then you have the happy parents who identify with their private school and feel personally attacked when someone criticizes "their" school.

You get conflict, obviously.

OP here. The thing is, I based my final decision on where to send DC to school on information gathered from face-to-face interaction with people either working at or sending their kids to each school. It wasn’t gossip here that drove my decision. How do people factor all this dirty laundry into their choices? Does it help anyone? Why not meet face to face or start text groups among concerned parties to solve a problem?[/quote]

At our school, meeting in person with administrators has produced zero results. The next step is stopping donations. But if your kid is in high school, you are pretty much stuck. Then the frustration boils over and you come here to express it. [/quote]
