[quote=Anonymous]PP -- it is exactly because I found myself thinking like this that we are pulling out of private school and enrolling in public next year.  I hated what I had become in order to "be in the club."  I feel for you, it is an awful position to work hard to get your DC into a great school only to find out that, perhaps, what we are paying for goes against the very fundamental values we believe in and want to pass on to our children.  We drew the line when our DC came home and informed us that DC's school was for the rich kids (not that DC really knew what that meant or even knew whether we, in fact, were rich, but I nearly threw up thinking that the classmates were discussing this and that we had put DC in such an environment).  Yes, private school offers great opportunities, but the cost of those opportunities in terms of skewed values is no longer worth it to us.  While I would not consider myself a "granola weirdo" I am hoping to find a better balance between that and the hypervigilance to appearances that comes in the club world.
