[quote=Anonymous]By 9th grade, about 50% of the kids in our neighborhood left the Pyle-Whitman track to go to private schools. After we moved our boys to private school, our relationship with SOME of our neighbors with kids our kid’s ages changed. They were still cordial and polite, of course, but our relationship was much cooler. But I don’t think this had anything to do with any of them being jealous. It’s not as if they couldn’t also switch if they wanted to. What I sensed and believe is that more than anything is they were disappointed. These were the people who have evidenced the greatest amount of enthusiasm for the idea of “The Neighborhood” and the role of the public schools in binding it all together. Absent the same schools thing and with different sports teams to support, we just had a lot less in common. [/quote]
