[quote=Anonymous]We live in CCMD, and while about 75% of the kids on our street go to private (including ours), I definitely get asked by some of the neighbors with kids in public school why we chose private. When we were still at our neighborhood preschool, where the majority of kids go on to MoCo publics, I was constantly asked why we were going the private route. A couple of the queen bee SAHMs who I had been friendly with started being less friendly once they heard we weren't continuing on to the neighborhood public school. Some people don't care, others are somewhat offended when people "reject" the same choice they made, especially when you're willing to spend $30K/year per child to reject that choice. When asked about our choice, I simply say that we thought our very shy oldest would do better in a smaller setting and we wanted to keep our kids together, so we sent his sibling to the same school.
