Diversions
NOTES & QUERIES
The friendliest thing might be to tactfully change the subject
What’s the appropriate response to a friend who tells you they are sending their child to private school?
Say something supportive because that person is a friend? If you don’t approve, don’t say anything because it’s none of your business.

• I don’t see the difference between having enough money to send kids to private school and having enough money to afford a house in a posh location so your kids go to the best state schools.

• Tell them it can’t be that private if they are telling people about it.
