[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would she care that he's going to a private school? He's in 8th grade and would be going to a different school anyway. If she was so dead set against it she would not have written the letter. [/quote]

Op I believe you. Have son tone it down and keep his head down. If you work with teachers much or volunteer in the schools much you'd be amazed how much jealousy there is.[/quote]

I've worked with lots of teachers and have been in tons of schools for decades and I'm unaware of this jealousy of which you type.

Is it jealousy of parents/children who go private? Parents who drive nice cars/seem to have money?

I've noticed some immaturity/insecurity towards other teachers but that was more office politics where people try to ass kiss to get ahead or be on the principal's good side. But I've never heard of jealousy towards families. For one, many teachers these days come from pretty good families, many marry well, some are financially independent and/or teach for giggles. To suggest they are jealous of families is ridiculous. Secondly, if they absolutely abhorred private school kids, wealth, etc they could always work in schools and districts with less wealth. Then they'd be looked up to and revered in the community.

But seriously, what type of jealousy do you see in teachers?[/quote]
