Hope you like paying your big fat tuition bill for nothing!

Fwiw, we hired a tutor rather than doing private and our tutor will of course continue to come and even increase her hours. So I don't really have a dog in this particular fight. Just been cringing at how superior the private school parents think they are.[/quote]

Secretly? I openly laugh and mock. [/quote]

They will all be back in-person mid Jan and you'll still be doing sub par DL[/quote]

We don’t mind your envy, laughing, and mocking!  Our school is still open, will return after thanksgiving and continue until the beginning of Christmas break.  We want your school to open as well, for what it’s worth.[/quote]

+1. I hope public school students have a good distance learning experience, and that the schools are able to open in person. Our enjoyment of private school is not predicated upon the misery of public school students. I wonder if OP can say the same? Doesn’t matter though. Even though OP is a jerk, their kids deserve a good education, so I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for the public school system. [/quote]

All of this. I want all the kids to have a good experience, to be safe, and to be in person if possible. I want our friends and neighbors to do well. I want to be able to move my kid back to public in a couple years without worrying about placement issues because of lost educational time in the public classrooms.

Laughing at anybody in this situation is awful. If you have anger and fear about the choices you had to make, direct that at your government (all levels) which has repeatedly failed to manage this pandemic and failed to prioritize kids.[/quote]

Very well put. I would say that one of the hardest aspects of this year, has been seeing how in-person learning improved my child's overall health and mindset and thinking about others who might want the opportunity but don't have it. I'm happy that many families, public and private, have embraced DL. I was fine with DL under the circumstances, but can attest from personal experience that being able to be with teachers and classmates in-person has been absolutely amazing for my student. Of course, we did not leave public for private just this year. There are pros and cons of both, and my child definitely gave up some things when we selected private over public. On the other than, features like smaller classes are definitely a plus right now. [/quote]
