[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btdt. Got some unexpected anger from a close friend. (It is very strange anyone would care. But they do.) advice above to not be defensive or justify decision is perfect. I tried for a bland comment and then changed the subject and gave it time. Still friends but remember being thrown by anger.[/quote] We switched our DD at high school which actually isn't very uncommon in DC. However, I was surprised by the number of people who asked why rather than just saying, "Oh." We, too, had been very involved in our public schools and I guess friends and acquaintances just assumed we'd be moving on to the local high school. I was taken by surprise, felt put on the spot and didn't always do the best job of explaining our reasons for leaving DCPS. It is definitely best to concentrate specifically on the particular needs of your child. Don't get into a discussion of the merits of old school vs. new. [/quote]
