[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't matter what you say to them. It's a no win situation for you. You'll find that there are a percentage of neighborhood public school parents who don't like you sending your jobs to private schools. These people will become more and more distant over time. Some of this is because you aren't sharing the same experiences. Some of it may be envy. Our neighborhood is about 50% private and 50% public (Whitman)[/quote] We are in a similar neighborhood from a private/public perspective, also in Whitman, and have had kids in both private and public. I honestly can't say anyone has ever commented or cared where my kids were in school, nor would I have been judgmental about their choices. My kids did sports and other activities with kids from the neighborhood and there were a mix of private and public school kids in those and no one seemed bothered about the different school choices. Maybe because there are a lot of families opting for private/Catholic school so it's hardly an unusual choice. Plus most people in our neighborhood could certainly pay for private if that was the choice they wanted to make so there isn't any jealously/envy about some people being able to afford it and others not. Confused about sending jobs to private schools. The kids all need to be taught by someone. In fact with smaller class sizes in private schools it creates more teacher jobs not fewer. Does it matter if the job is at Pyle or Norwood? [/quote]
