[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately, if you choose a private school, especially after attending the local public one, you ARE making a statement that the public school is not good enough for your child.  There are many reason why you might make that decision (wanting a religious influence, wanting smaller classes, wanting a different group of peers, wanting different academic opportunities), but that IS what your move to private is saying.

It's not unexpected that someone who has decided the public school IS good enough for their kids w[b]ould feel a little insulted by your choice[/b].  Good friends would not say that and would want things to work out for you whatever that may be.  You are making a value judgment too OP and you said your standards are higher than theirs.... what is good enough for them is not good enough for you.  If you want to ditch public, than don't be so surprised that supporters of your local public feel *a little* rejected.  You ARE rejecting their school and their standards.[/quote]

Tough tushies. Everyone does what they think is best for their kids. I don't judge my friends for having their kids in public, private, religious, secular or even homeschooling environments. I want them to do what's best for them. Their choices do not insult me and my choices. [/quote]
