[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever noticed that it's an iron-clad requirement on DCUM that every single parent that took their child out of private school "couldn't be happier" now that the kid attends public school?  The only acceptable alternative phrasing is "very happy."

Why does no one ever use different phrasing, like maybe "it's going well so far" or "we like this public school"?

I'm PP 7:35, and you will notice I didn't say that we couldn't be happier. We are satisfied overall, but we miss certain aspects of private. The things we miss are saner scheduling and more opportunities to form relationships with teachers, more close-knit school community, and the more intensive writing instruction given in private. In other respects we've had a positive experience with our public high school. It's just that the few advantages of private don't outweigh the massive crush of tuition debt for our middle class family (just a little too well off for financial aid but struggling to pay 60k a year).[/quote]
