[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Status insecure MC and UMC are most certainly triggered by you sending your children to a private. They take it VERY personally, sometimes they are upfront about it, others are passive aggressive and talk about you behind your back. And let’s be frank, they’re triggered because they know the private is better, so they feel inferior. Spare me the spin that it’s somehow a benefit to be at a public with no admissions filter, nobody ever gets expelled, half full of loser kids from bad families, and led by political wannabe board members, admins, and teachers. It’s a freakin’ circus at best you tolerate because you can’t afford private. Period.[/quote]

I wouldn't have said it this way, but I agree that there's some truth here.  We live in NW DC and with the COL & Real estate prices have made a divide between the seriously well off and high earners versus the people who are barely hanging on.  It's no accident that the most defensive about public school are also ones who are pretty stretched already by hanging on to living in a certain zip code.  They hate the fact that this is a part of being in certain zip codes and beat the drum that "PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE THE BEST AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN THEM" hard.  [/quote]
