[quote=Anonymous]I actually just almost posted a thread about someone who didn't know that my child is going to a private next year (kindergarten) that went on a rant at a luncheon with a few mutual friends about how it was a waste, the schools are fine, who would do that, how ridiculous it was, on and on.

It was excruciating, especially as she was flashing around a $45k diamond ring her husband just upgraded her to (she told her cousin who told me, I know, I know, I didn't need to know that!)
It was all I could do not to comment on how wasteful I thought diamonds were and how ridiculous it was, but I held my tongue and thankfully everyone else was stunned and silent as I said nothing and let her go on. 
Op I don't know what to tell you except to keep repeating, as I do, "we really like the school." No more, no less. Not that it's the best choice, that irks people who know by now what a pat answer that is, don't try to explain about the school or how your child has needs, just stop all that and say simply "we like the school." It has cut down about 75% of the follow up questions when said in a flat voice and a closed smile.
