[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor is moving her kid to private next year. The only time it bothers me is when she veers into trashing the public school my son goes to—it’s clear she thinks that leaving her child there means he’ll end up on drugs. Which makes me roll my eyes, because private school *never* do drugs. It’s all minor crap—but if you care how you’re perceived, or about the other people’s feelings, just be cool and leave your feelings about the unsavory-ness of the public school out of it. [/quote]

Agree.  If you can’t talk about the new school without making comparisons to the school you’re leaving/their kids are still attending, it’s going to be awkward.
+1 our neighbors are doing this and I really just wish they’d stop taking about it. Their kids keep talking about how much better it is going to be and my DD is upset. It’s also becoming clear they don’t want their kids in with kids with special needs and “lower income problems,” which hurts my feelings because one of my kids is AuHD… they’re basically saying they don’t want to be with kids like him.
