[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster you're quoting.  I was just stating a fact.  Unlike two posters who preceded me, the relevant comparison for my family is not comparing one private to another, top-3 private.  This situation doesn't make it a "pot shot."

I'm not the poster with all the questions about why public school parents can't be on this board, but I agree with her.  FWIW, my credentials for being here include several years in a private elementary and turning down a private big-3, as I said.  In fact, sometimes I whip out these credentials just to establish "street cred" when I post on the private school threads, because of people like you![/quote]
Fine, if you say so, I'm happy to accept that you did not intend your comment as a potshot.  But surely you've noticed the many potshots that do get taken here on a near-daily basis?  As a person with experience in both the public and private school worlds, and someone who obviously spends time in this section of DCUM, do you have any thoughts on why so many jabs get taken?

As for who's allowed to post on this board or any board -- I really don't care who you are, as long as you've got something constructive to add.  If you've got a keyboard and a an intelligent comment, post away.  I don't appreciate your suggestion that I was saying otherwise.  I think what gets some private school parents annoyed (me, at least), is when people show up unprovoked criticism of private schools -- and even then, I don't really mind if the comments are thoughtful.

So setting aside your earlier post, do you have any insight on why so many public school parents throw unprovoked anti-private jabs?[/quote]
