[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t leave for pubic for at least another school year due to the pandemic. [b]I think they’re going to continue to struggle with staffing. [/b] Are there any other private schools you’ve looked into already? I like the parent culture at DC’s private ES, it’s pretty laid back and inclusive, but I’ve heard some younger grades parents aren’t as laid back. [/quote] I'm definitely worried about this. (OP here.) We are very limited geographically for a number of reasons, so our pool of schools from which to choose is limited as well. Basically our current private, local public, and two faith-based schools that we don't consider true options. I think many posters are right about not jumping ship unless it's affecting my kid (which it's not). Kid's experience has been amazing. I think I am going to try to tune out the parent crap, at least for another year. [/quote] Yes, good idea. It’s hard to tune it out but once I made the mental shift if the school bring my kid’s place and not where I would find community it was easier. There are a lot of events you can opt not to go to. Kid’s performances, back to school night; you go to those things. Auction, parent gatherings, volunteering at the bake sale; you can skip. If your kid is having an amazing experience than that’s great![/quote]
