[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get the same/better education in public. Go waste money somewhere else.

I bet it's mostly so the parents can brag.[/quote]

Dang. That’s some expensive brag. Especially since we rarely bring it up.  At least if I spent that money on expensive cars and flashy clothes, my privilege would be much more apparent.  Stupid me![/quote]

Rarely bring it up? I have yet to meet a private school parent that doesn’t bring it up FORTHWITH either as a humblebrag or an indirect hint. Not to mention the bumper stickers and sweatshirts. It’s all meant to designate their privilege and access against the nasty poor plebes who have to rough it out with the gangs, bjs and heroin needles of the publics. 
You guys are disgusting. My public school kids will outpace yours in every area of life as my public educated husband outearns and has built a better life than every single private school classmate of mine. [/quote]

You see the flaw in this thinking, right?  Of course you haven’t met the private school parents who don’t bring it up because . . . They don’t bring it up! You seem awfully angry for someone who purports to be very confident with the school choice you’ve made for your children.  I’m not questioning that choice, just pointing out that the anger seems . .. extreme. [/quote]

Read the privilege, condescension and desperate bargaining for a scintilla of common sense contained in these posts. If they don’t spark a glimmer of outrage and indignation in you, you HAVENT been paying attention. [/quote]

I mean, you're claiming that every single private school parent is the same as the ones posting on here, and that those attitudes are the reason private schools and their students are awful? Relax, man. And stop calling other people disgusting but then acting like you're on the high road.
