[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I get that you want to sound earnest, but you come across as smug and self-righteous.  These are attitudes I'd hope to avoid.  [/quote]

NP here. For crying out loud. You're beyond "smug and self-righteous." I'd insert other words here, but then I'd be playing your game. Not going to stoop to your level.

17:16 - thanks for your candor and thoughtfulness. I expect that lots of nastiness is going to be heaped on you, because there seem to be a vocal crew of people on here who hiss and piss at anyone who pauses to question the assumption that sending your kids to private school is automatically for the best. But please know that I for one thank you many many times over for your heartfelt message. You sound like a wonderful parent, and a wonderful person.[/quote]

17:16.  Thank you.  I tried to put a lot of thought into what I wrote. We have had friends here have to pull their kids from my former private school universe because of bullying, but when we see some of our peers from college and say what we are doing with our kids they are shocked - their kids are all at the schools they went to in NYC - and they did not consider any other options.  That said, we are at a charter we really believe will give our kids the best education around, for our kids, of any school. If we doubted the educational quality we might do something different - but it would not be to put our kids into what STA and NCS are like now.  I don't even think my brothers would do it for their sons if they lived here.  Many of these schools went off the road somewhere, and we don't want to follow.[/quote]
