[quote=Anonymous]I am one of those parents that apparently lots of you love to hate-  struggling with the decision of where to send my child next year. Yes I understand it's a "nice problem to have" -  but it's still the thing I am struggling with at the moment, trying to make the best decision for my child based on what I know of her thus far.  She's only 8, I don't know who she will be in 2 or 3 years or what will be right for her then and so I've been very conflicted-  which is not a comfortable feeling.  I have to imagine that every parent out there has had similar moments and I cannot for the life of me understand why this site always gets overrun by the loudest and least supportive voices out there.  I logged in to hear advice/opinions of other parents weighing similar considerations and am shocked by how nasty some of these strings become.  I understand that there is a great social and moral debate going on out there about public school education but seriously-  when you see the forum subject, the topic is pretty clear.  I'm appalled by how parents are so quick to attack and mock other parents.  I'm reminded of how many years ago, struggling with an infant who would not breastfeed, I logged onto this site to ask a question and was promptly attacked by hysterical, angry people who questioned my love for my child if I would even consider "quitting".  Not quite the support I was looking for then and 8 years later....... I'm not even going to try this time.  I have to say that I'm wondering how concerned I should be about what my child is going to face in school from people whose parents think this behavior is okay. [/quote]
