[quote=Anonymous]We are a long term (10+ year) public school family that sends our kids to private high schools. People get very, very weird about it (which makes sense). It eats at their own parenting insecurities---clearly our action of spending $50K for school implies that we (people they like and respect) thought public was not good enough for our kids. Funny thing is that the insecurity definitely goes both ways (I sometimes regret not staying in public and there are many things about public that I miss). So we don't talk about it. At all. Or only in the most generic ways. I never, ever say anything that could be conceived as bragging. I stick to all other kid issues: extracurriculars, sports, behavior challenges, friend issues, etc. There is lots to talk about with ever delving into the school topic. It works and we've maintained strong friendships. [/quote]
