<p>When my child didn’t get admitted to any school, an acquaintance said “But you didn’t want X. to go though, right?” Like I secretly was hoping X wouldn’t get in??? Huh! I so wanted this opportunity for X, because my child wanted it badly, because it would be a great experience… She looked shocked, like I said I didn’t love my kid. </p>
<p>I’ve gotten plenty of “I could never send my child away to boarding school.” Ah well, different priorities, I guess.</p>
