[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. #firstworldproblems So many people would kill to have the choice between K-8 or K-12. I don't begrudge you the opportunities you are able to give your kids. But recognize that it's nice to have this problem. Some of us come from families where we have no choice but to send them to public schools and despite our best efforts had to decline a "big 3" because the financial aid packet just wasn't enough. And I live in the Shaw area so my public school is nothing like the ones west of the park. Be thankful, be grateful. Your kids will be ok. [/quote]

Everybody (and anybody) is allowed to worry and second guess and be fearful about msking choices that affect our children. Even wealthy people. Deal with that chip on your shoulder and you will be a happier person for it. I promise.[/quote]

I don't think that the prior poster was arguing that you are not allowed to worry.  Of course you are.  On the other hand, she has every right to give the perspective that some of us would be grateful to have "first world problems" or "wealthy" problems.  I say this as someone who grew up in a disadvantaged background and am grateful for the problems I have now as a person who can choose to send her children to private school.  It is a good problem to have and because I have had other far more challenging problems (a child with serious medical issue, a sibling who cannot live independently due to serious learning disabilities, etc.), I am aware that some problems and worries are better to have than others.[/quote]
