[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went through this a couple of times with both kids.  There is jealousy and anger involved, [b]especially if you tell them it is because of substandard MCPS.[/b]

We told people we wanted religious element in education and the satisfied them.  But know that they are still steaming about it.  [b]One time I posted something on Facebook about common core and how I am glad my kids don't deal with it[/b][b], and this rabid mom attacked me.  She is one who asked my why I pulled my daughter out of MCPS before anyone.  She also seemed happy to hear that it was religious reasons.  But now she knows there are other benefits we enjoy and she is angry.[/quote]

If you're constantly running down the schools their kids attend, then yes they're probably angry with you.  That doesn't mean they're jealous, it just means you're rude.

This.  You really can't tell people their school isn't good!  It's impolite even if true.  And it's impolite for public schools too.

And bear in mind, it's normal for people to think their private school is great when they first begin there.  But sometimes the bloom comes off the rose after they've experienced it for a while.  You might want to moderate your remarks so you don't end up looking stupid.[/quote]
