[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are glad their kids are finally getting educated too, not just the outliers. If you’re not happy for them cut them off.[/quote]

Op here. I am happy for them that they are happy and if public wasn't a fit for their kids, good for them for finding something that is.

But I think it borders on chumpish for me to let someone basically say that I am satisfied with my kids getting an inferior education. My one child would likely not be welcome at a parochial school because he has SN.[/quote]

Seems like you can respond with something that supports them while countering the inferior part, like, "I am so glad you've found a place providing your kids with an education that works best for them. We are thrilled with how the education at <X> is working for our family as well" and try to redirect the conversation. If they want to get into a contest over their school having better whatever (writing and grammar would be big for parochials), just don't. Keep redirecting. If it gets too tiresome limit how often you see them or just directly tell them, "I'd rather talk about something else other than the differences between schools. What is your family up to this weekend?"[/quote]
