[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can afford something they can't.  It's bound to cause problems.  However, you should just smile, nod, and keep it moving.  Don't let it get to you and DON'T try and justify your choice.  Your kid, your money, your choice.  End of story.[/quote]

Yup.

Look, let's face it -- not everyone has the same options you/we do, and many of those who do don't want to spend so much extra money.  It's hard enough to afford to live in this area without putting the cost of private school on top of it. Not everyone finds themselves able to fully consider the option.  It's natural for them to want to believe they aren't limiting the options available to their kids -- especially if the public school they're attending is perfectly fine.  It's easier for many people not to have to deal with the possibility that there's another option that might have been better if the expense could be afforded or justified.

This doesn't excuse people being rude, closed-minded, judgmental or critical.  But it explains part of it.[/quote]

False statement: all public schools "limit the options available" to children in comparison with all private schools. This kind of assumption really puts people off. [/quote]

Nice way to completely misread that paragraph.[/quote]
