[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, they are not your tribe any longer. Accept it. Don't make it worse by assigning blame. Btw, you would seem clueless to not understand a basic fact: those neighborhood kids are your child's peers, only you're saying they're not good enough. You are seeking better. Or you are seeking a school environment better than what these have parents have chose. So that's criticism. Not spoken but it's there. Be gracious. You should never have to accept rude comments to your face but accept that the dynamic for you within the neighborhood has drastically changed. That's on you. You chose this.[/quote]

This. This is what I was thinking but wasn't sure how to phrase. OP, by opting out of public school you are essentially saying you want something "better" for your children. That message is fine, but it's also loud and clear and it effectively renders judgment on other parents' choice to use public school. Of course, it's an American ethos to proclaim that "I do not judge" and "I do not care," but it's just not true in such cases. It is judging that what's good enough for your children's peers isn't good enough for them.[/quote]
