[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that they are jealous, it's that they feel defensive that maybe they should be doing something else with their kids. Try to see it that way, and try to frame your discussion as a decision you made for your own particular individual reasons.[/quote] Like telling them your kids are super special snowflakes that need whatever private provides. That's what many on this board do. My kid is SOOO smart....my kid is SOOO shy..... my kid NEEDS a small class to concentrate..... my kids has some random allergy that is not accommodated in public.... these statements make people less defensive an insecure about their own decisions. Really most of the kids in private are normal (or above average) and the parents just want a better education. I just say it's a better fit for Jill and leave it at that. When people ask why or how "Uh, well, it's just a feeling".[/quote]
