[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to a school like your public and we are also highly involved. I think there is truth to the fact that people will be a little annoyed, and if you don't live in an area like that it can be hard to understand. There is a "prisoner's dilemma" kind of game theory problem in some neighborhoods. If all the educated middle class families in some neighborhoods were to send their children to public, those schools would improve. But it's a rational decision for each family to pull their child out because the school hasn't yet improved. So just own it. It's true, in a small way, that the school will be less good because you and your child are leaving. Schools need active parents and good students. But you are making the perfectly rational decision that what's better for your child is more important. There is a reason why parents will be annoyed. But you also have a good reason. Just own it and agree to disagree.[/quote]
