New poster.  I actually have had multiple children in local private schools for several years.  I've met some parents that I consider mildly annoying and many I truly enjoy.  But no, I've never seen outrageous behavior of the sort you seem to be describing here.

Now you'll probably accuse me of being a "knee-jerk defender" or tell me to "get my head out of my ass," simply because I don't agree with you.  I suppose that's your right.  But in my experience, this story you're trying to tell -- about how most private schools are snake pits of intrigue and backstabbing -- is fiction.

Maybe I've just been lucky enough to have missed it, or maybe what you're describing is standard procedure at some schools, but not at others.  In any event, your suggestion that such ugliness is commonplace among all private school parents at all schools is simply not true.[/quote]

I would say that you either aren't very perceptive to very subtle interactions and emotions (some people aren't and do miss these kind of things) or you were lucky to never be on the receiving end of such behavior.

In our K-8, there was a child my DD and her wanted to have playdates many times. I couldn't stand the mother and she couldn't stand me.  The result was no playdates despite our children asking and obviously being friends in school. [/quote]
