[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid is changing schools, which is HARD. Her parents had to sell her on the idea. Also, obviously they believe it’s a better school and she’ll get a better education. That’s why they are having her change schools. The part about your daughter changing schools too if she had the money is probably an 8 year old’s twist on what her parents told her in response to her asking, “if the new school is better, why can’t all my friends come with me?” Let is go, OP. And have some empathy.[/quote]

+1 This is exactly what happened.
I moved my son to Catholic school in 2nd grade. He was very upset about having to switch schools so I had to sell it! And he wanted to know if the school was so good, why aren't his friends going there? Because it costs money. I told him not to talk about it with his old friends and I hope he wasn't that insensitive but children aren't exactly tactful.[/quote]
You have to sell it by disparaging others? Some values you’re teaching your kids.[/quote]

Well, it's the truth.  The parents do feel that it's a better education that is worth the money (debatable) and that other parents would do the same if they had the resources (dubious--I haven't been impressed with the DMV Catholic private schools I've seen where I would send my kids for free, let alone pay money for them).  Little Larla is just repeating what her parents say/think.[/quote]
