[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op been there...a simple answer without too many reasons (made that mistake and the more reasons I gave it seems the more I offended them - understandably). If the private is religious at all you can say "we wanted the religious aspect incorporated into school," as I have had others say to me. Could also say "My child does better in smaller classrooms."[/quote]

You don't need to play the religion card. [b]You and the person asking know the private school is the better school all things considered [/b](just look at the abysmal numbers for DC public and public charter schools on the National Center for Education Statistics website). You chose to make the enormous sacrifices you had to in order to send your kid private or you were one of the lucky few who got financial aid. What it shows is where your priorities lie.  [/quote]

No, not really. It depends on the specific publics and privates that you are comparing. And the snooty remark about "where your priorities lie" is beneath you. At least I hope it's beneath you.[/quote]
