[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say stuff like this are really still trying to convince themselves that the switch was the right move. They're feeling insecure even though it feels like they're being smug.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.[/quote]

Found the smug poster.[/quote]

So, only some people are allowed to be ok with their school? Did OP even know her friends were unhappy and the school didn’t meet their needs? If she did she might be able to muster a little happiness for them. But, instead it’s all about her kids. If her kids needs are met, what’s the problem?[/quote]

It’s very clear from the original post that the friends keep putting down the public school, where OP’s kids still are. Not sure what is hard to understand about that.[/quote]

OP never said why they left in the first place. That matters.[/quote]

No it doesn’t. It doesn’t excuse telling people at the old school that their kids’ education is inferior or that they will need to supplement their kids’ education to keep up with the friends’ kids. Just re-read the first paragraph.[/quote]

Many people supplement. It’s a given in a lot of public schools. This isn’t breaking news. Still, they left for a reason and op is omitting that for some reason. The school failed her friends in some way and they took the drastic measure to change schools.  If it was bullying and i had to pull my kids out you bet your life i would be trashing the school that did nothing. Even if my friend got offended. [/quote]

It’s not about supplementing, it’s about telling your friends they will need to do it to keep up with your kids.

It’s not about trashing the school because your kids got bullied, it’s about telling your friend that their kids’ education is subpar compared to your kids’ education.

This isn’t difficult but I get the sense that you think “being contrarian” is your key personality trait.[/quote]

Interesting that OP won’t come back so you’re trying to fill in the gaps in her story.[/quote]

Literally taking things they said from their first paragraph. It’s called “reading.”[/quote]

I asked why they left. You don’t know. So thanks for nothing. Is Op paying you to represent her?[/quote]

Nope, I’m just capable of reading (and I’m not a shitty person so I can understand why what her friends said is rude and uncalled for).[/quote]

Good for you. But comments about IEPs, and apparent issues with academics don’t exactly tell the whole story. OP is not nearly a good or close friend if she doesn’t know the real story so who cares if this supposed friendship blows up?[/quote]
