[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of valid points here. OP's concern is valid. The high cost of private school (especially when not paid for by a third party) is valid and the desire to form a partnership is valid. What I wish, though, is that people could stop tearing others down. Calling someone something just makes people come across as judgemental and, frankly, no better off than the perceived offender. [/quote] What a namby-pamby, kumbaya response. You commit the same sin you accuse others of in your post. What you call "judgmental," I call having standards. The muddled English of your post reflects your muddled thinking. The high cost of private school is valid for what? Does paying high tuition justify an attitude of entitlement in which schools are meant to jump at your every whim? As someone who pays $120,000 in private school tuition each year, I disagree, and will continue to judge the people who think that way. [/quote] You should just agree that other people disagree. You paying $120,000 does not entitle you to judge anybody. Who do you think you are???[/quote] [b]Some people have a more strongly developed sense of ethics and justice.[/b] OP and you sound morally stunted, for example. I'd say PP is someone with more judgment than you, which entitles them to judge. Who do you think you are to tell PP or anyone else what they should or should not do? [/quote] Well, I think that money cannot buy you the right to say anything about others' way of thinking or doing things that are different from yours. Sense of ethics and justice certainly does not come from money. Just stunned and tired of reading all those things while a parent is just asking a straight question - you do not like it, just pass your way instead of trying to make the parent feel bad just because she/ he does not think the way you do. And yes, all of us should agree that others may disagree with us. That is the very basic to start a discussion. Oops, there is none here but judgement. The well thinking people are always right, aren't they? [/quote]
