[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue gets turned around, so that the public school parents still at the school assume your choice implies that they  either 1) care less about the education of their own children or 2) are poorer and lack the ability to achieve more for their kids.

I don't think they care about the kids, I think they care about what your choice implies about their own parenting.

Turn it around is right. When you talk with public school parents about school you always have to make up some excuse why you left. You can never come out and say "Its  better school. duh!" Then they go right on to judge the amount of money you are spending ... how much is it again? What I see behind that veneer is anger/ rage at the frustrations of public school. There are many drawbacks, but there is little that an average person can do to change that. [b]They are stuck and you are not.[/b] Then they throw in the DRUGS AT PRIVATE SCHOOL.  Like there are no drugs at public. Dream on -- and keep your eyes closed tight. The privates just do not have the suicide/ drug overdose deaths that the publics do. But it is part of the public school persona to just over look the facts.[/quote]
