[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm...no.  Why in the world would they be jealous?  This is absurd. [/quote]

Ha!  I had one parent on my daughters hockey team ask me not to talk about her day at her private school because she was having too much fun in science.  That science teacher was amazing!  So yes there is jealousy and yes my child was not invited to many social events because the parents were anti private school.  At least one parent was honest with me, he is a well to do plastic surgeon in the Chevy Chase area and told me private school tuition would put too much of a dent into his lifestyle.  He quizzed me often, I think wanted it for his children, but ultimately chose not to push that button.  His kids are doing fine and are wonderful people and the family is still good friends with ours.  But yes, there is obvious jealousy towards some by some, human nature I guess.[/quote]

This is way different from people who try their best for their kids but cannot afford it. I'm sorry, but this is just choosing your lifestyle and fun toys over your kids' education.[/quote]

This sounds fake.  [/quote]
