[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever noticed that it's an iron-clad requirement on DCUM that every single parent that took their child out of private school "couldn't be happier" now that the kid attends public school?  The only acceptable alternative phrasing is "very happy."

Why does no one ever use different phrasing, like maybe "it's going well so far" or "we like this public school"?

We pulled our daughter out of private and we "couldn't be happier" with her experience at Whitman.  I understand where you're coming from and sometimes everything on this site seems to reflect only the extremes.  That said, we are really thrilled with her experience.  I think those of us who have made the move feel like sharing these positive experiences (especially on this site) b/c there seem to be so much public school bashing.  There's a lot along the lines of "if you care about education you'll go private" or "if you have the $, you'll go private" or "if you don't go private, you'll have to settle for public" and basically, "public isn't good." These things are simply not true.  There is so much hype about private schools - much of it premised upon the assumption that private is always better and the more you pay, the better it is.  Not at all true in our experience.  [/quote]
