[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - when it comes down to it - you both have the right to do what you want. They are not doing anything wrong, or even anything rude.  They are lucky to have a public option that is good enough for them to consider as being "in the running".  If you do not have that luxury, then it is your responsibility to apply to enough private schools so that you will have a private option.  If you didn't do that, that's on you.

If my kid has to go to their safety-school private for HS because they got denied by their top-tier private choices - that's the way it goes.  That is exactly why the safety school was on the list (and if we had needed multiple safeties, we would have done that). Sure, it'll be sad for them (and us) compared to getting into one of those top-tier schools - but I'm not mad that someone whose child was accepted to the top-tier school is on the fence about the private vs public magnet vs public boundary.

Hoping it works out for you and your child though!  And for ours.[/quote]

This is OP. I am zoned for a [b]W[/b] school so have fantastic options. My kid applied to 3 private schools and got into all three of them. But there was a lot of research and asking questions before we even applied. So no sour grapes here - just shaking my head about all of the poor planning and research public school parents seem to have done on their options.[/quote]

You should be shaking your head if only to get all that water or earwax or whatever is in there making it hard for you to hear what many people are saying.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Parents have done their research. They are waiting until they have all the pertinent information before deciding. They do not have all that info yet. Would you have your child decide before they got all the answers on their applications? No, I didn’t think so.

Now go ask the private school parents you know who have all acceptances in hand but have put down two or more deposits because they simply cannot make up their minds despite having ALL the info they need.
