[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you rather have your kids hang out with and learn from[b] kids that extend their hands and say "Hello, nice to see you Mrs. xxxx[/b]" or kids with pants hanging below their Arses and trying to fight other kids for no apparent reason as is the case in our high school. No thanks. Yes, IN GENERAL, the kids are better and come from better families in private schools.[/quote]

This is rich! I’ve witnessed firsthand these exact kids doing drugs and having sex in the parking lots of “Big 3” schools. Don’t let their manners fool you.[/quote]

You are just jealous. Those kids are go getters unlike your public school kid. [/quote]

So the kids buying drugs and having parking lot sex are the go getters…never heard them described this way.[/quote]

I have kids in public considering private school.

Public school kids also do drugs and have sex. They were doing this back when I was a kid in the 90s and still doing it now.

For the OP, I don’t think public school parents are jealous. Families just naturally drift apart when kids no longer attend the same school. I have seen this after preschool when families go to different elementary schools whether it is public or private. I know when my kid switched to an AAP center, I felt like some of the families kind of gave us a cold shoulder. I am usually less vested if I meet a family whose kid attends a different school. I just found out one of my daughter’s good friends is moving overseas. I’m a little less enthusiastic about doing play dates since I know they are moving in a few months. I would rather invest time in friends who I think we will continue seeing going forward.[/quote]

You sound like a great friend.[/quote]

+1. You can invest time in a neighborhood friend who goes to private school, just like you can invest time in a soccer friend or dance friend. You don’t need to see them 24/7. And social media makes it so much easier to keep in touch with faraway friends[/quote]
