[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, our private all boys school in DC hasn’t turned out to be worth the full tuition we pay at over 30 grand a year. [/quote]

At least you're honest instead of trying to justify value that's not there.....[/quote]

Thank you, many posts get angry when anything unfavorable is said about the school even though it’s the case or they will spin it to downplay it. 
I did not anticipate this and really hoped it would’ve turned out to what I was sold on, I’m actually quite sad about it for my child. But it’s too much of a disappointment. It didn’t have to be as wonderful as the school and parents touted, I just would’ve appreciated more honesty. Take what they say with a grain of salt, there is major bias and you’ll only get information of what they want you to know and all the polish. [/quote]

Thoughtful observation (with no emotion here): Have you read the contentious Sidwell threads and the current GDS thread, just to take it away from the personal for you? I've been on this site long enough to recognize when someone thinks their opinion is the only truth. We all have to keep in mind that people genuinely have different opinions about schools -- all schools -- especially when it comes to value judgements because there are so many variables for each family. What you call "spin" is their true opinion, and what you say is "the case" is your true opinion. This is why people on these threads talk about "fit" so much. What works for one kid doesn't always work for another, even in one family. Kudos to you for recognizing the school you chose is a bad fit for your family and making a change to something you like better. That is hard to do sometimes. But I don't think anyone needs to call all the people who have a different opinion about any school dishonest. [/quote]
