[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:38 again.  I think #3 is the big one.  Every person here is going to suffer that bias.  Also, most people who participate in these discussions care a lot about their children's education.  All parents presumably spent a lot of effort choosing the school most appropriate for their children's education.  And all parents will be very sensitive to any suggestion that they are not giving their children as good an education as they might get in some other school.

People are sensitive to these issues because any criticism of a school can easily be perceived as criticizing the person's role as a parent. Every time some private school parent writes that "I chose private because it gave my child a better education than my local public," some public school parent will worry she's not doing what's best for her children by keeping them in public school.  Every time some public school parent writes "I decided my child would get a better education at public school than any private," some private school parent worries.

I think the only way to avoid these sensitivities flaring into arguments is to make clear that YMMV.[/quote]

Agree, I think, what is YMMV[/quote]
