[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s normal for families with kids to talk about school. I would think it would be weird to never mention it. Why does your relative’s positive comments about public school bother you? (Seriously wondering now if everyone thinks I’m bitter when I praise our local public) [/quote]

Honestly - I think people who talk/brag about their kids' schools all the time are often flexing.  Public school included - most people can't change their house to move to a different district - so even public bragging is an eye-roll for me.  Then there are the magnet flex-ers. I personally find fewer private school flexing (and we are in private).

Same goes for the travel sports flex, kids' college flex, own college flex, neighborhood or country club flex.....they are all insecure and/or place value on some sort of status they think it brings them.[/quote]

Yes the magnet school flexes are the worst - sure it’s just like a private school and yes, you’re right - not sure why I’m even paying for it. [/quote]
