[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

Those with helpful comments, thank you! I have decided I am going to talk with her but instead of being defensive, ask how I can make our school district better. I understand it’s not suppose to be a personal issue, at least when she makes her statements, as she’s trying to educate the public. Although I can’t help but get a little hurt because I feel like she’s questioning my parenting skills. I see it as another mom, a good mom friend at that, so when I feel like she’s being what I could call judgmental about where we live, I get irate. To anyone else, we live in a great school district. We pay a pretty penny to live here. Yes, my kids don’t need help and are doing excpajronallg well, so I am proud. My bubble is bursted whenever she has to remind me what not so perfect school district is it.

*They did change the reading curriculum, so now it is a great school district. They had to, as they did get in trouble for not complying with the law that stated that they would help give an adequate education to all kids, including those with IEPs, who have dyslexia. Hindsight  isn’t 20/20. I didn’t know any of this until she brought it up. Of course, I didn’t care too much because it didn’t affect my kids. Although, I can now see why I should. I definitely want this to be a role model school district for change. Honestly, I do. [/quote]

This is about your lack of confidence in your parenting choices ...you get “a little hurt”....good grief, have a little backbone.  And stop talking about what great school district you live in, what if others can’t afford it...should they be like you and feel judged?  OP - the only thing you seem to care about is how others perceive you. I don’t believe you really care about the kids not being well served so long as your kids appear to go “the best” school.[/quote]
