[quote=Anonymous]We left our well-regarded IB school after PK3 because we got in somewhere else that we thought would be a better long-term fit. The reaction of some parents caught me off-guard. Some were completely non-judgmental and some basically stopped talking to us. Even with the non-judgmental ones, you need to be ready that everyone who stays in the IB school is going to be developing stronger relationships with each other over the years and you are naturally not going to be part of that. I think it is harder to leave an IB school than a city-wide one because the IB families are, by definition, your neighbors. And when most of your neighbors send their kids to the school down the street and you don't, it is just natural they will be closer with each other than they will with you, and the same goes for the kids. Of course you and your kids will make new friends at the new school, but there is something special about kids who are neighbors and classmates. [/quote]
