and sometimes i feel awkward.
 i grew up in the area so went to a big 3 here.
my kids are in public and i feel that whenever i mention where i went to school, i get an automatic, "why aren't you sending your kids there?"

the school in question has gone up in cost 3 fold since i went there and while we are well off, we can't afford 2 of these tuitions... and i'm actually perfectly happy at our public school. But the school i went to is so well-known and well-thought of that i think people think i'm a terrible person for not automatically putting my kids there...

anyone else in the same boat?[/quote]

You don't have to [b]tell[/b] people where you went to school, especially nosy people who then quiz you about your decision to send your children to public. Its likely that when they ask they are looking for that "it was'nt that great a school" kind of answer which they can then repeat to others and themselves to make them feel better about not attending themselves.
