[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have not announced that we are applying to the independent schools for our DC. People ask. However, the reaction we've gotten ranges from shock to anger. Why can't your child just go to the local public school? Why do you want to pay so much money? Your child's friends will be snobs. This is what we've gotten. It's so disrespectful, we think. Why do other parents care? It's our choice. We're running into people who are so pro-DCPS that they put down anyone who seeks an independent school education. We didn't expect this especially from family and close friends. These are not strangers.[/quote] I wouldn't give much explanation except this, "We visited xx school and really loved the school and could see our child xx attending and being happy there." Also most primates offer much smaller class sizes and that can be another reason. 30 kids verses 15 in a class can really make a difference for certain kids. [/quote]
