[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure to say something self-deprecating to protect the feelings of super-sensitive public school parents who will view your choice of private school as criticism of public schools.  Of course very few public school parents are so insecure.  But the tricky part is that most public school parents who ask you a question like this are the insecure ones![/quote]

Troll. Or you're just a very sad, smug, nasty, yet insecure person yourself.

Thank goodness I know, with kids in private schools myself, that not all private school parents are like you. I would leave if all the parents were like you.[/quote]
I stand by what I wrote.  Most public school parents won't ask this question in an accusatory way.  But most of those who do ask it this way are feeling insecure and are itching to pick an argument.  I know; I've faced the question before.  After having answered honestly the first few times, I learned to give a self-deprecatory response that changes the subject.

Clearly you have no use for introspection or self-examination, either,[/quote]
