[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - when it comes down to it - you both have the right to do what you want. They are not doing anything wrong, or even anything rude.  They are lucky to have a public option that is good enough for them to consider as being "in the running".  If you do not have that luxury, then it is your responsibility to apply to enough private schools so that you will have a private option.  If you didn't do that, that's on you.

If my kid has to go to their safety-school private for HS because they got denied by their top-tier private choices - that's the way it goes.  That is exactly why the safety school was on the list (and if we had needed multiple safeties, we would have done that). Sure, it'll be sad for them (and us) compared to getting into one of those top-tier schools - but I'm not mad that someone whose child was accepted to the top-tier school is on the fence about the private vs public magnet vs public boundary.

Hoping it works out for you and your child though!  And for ours.[/quote]

This is OP. I am zoned for a [b]W[/b] school so have fantastic options. My kid applied to 3 private schools and got into all three of them. But there was a lot of research and asking questions before we even applied. So no sour grapes here - just shaking my head about all of the poor planning and research [b]public school parents[/b] seem to have done on their options.[/quote]

Yikes OP. Your disdain for public school parents is palpable - and yet you were one until late elementary? Also, you are aware that those who are still debating public/private include current private school parents, correct? Based on all your responses, you have got to be a troll.[/quote]
