My daughter left her prep school in year 6 to go to a state school as she was bullied by some girls in the year group and school did nothing. My son is still there and on school events when I start chatting to parents and they naturally ask how many kids I have conversation goes to why did you take your daughter out. Most people sense to stop prying so much but I’m a little pissed off at the most recent one - earlier this week we had a curriculum meeting for my youngest where 2 year groups met up and this really nosey couple who I have never spoken to kept asking me which school my daughter goes to now and why I took my daughter out. I just gave a vague answer but she kept pushing. I’m a very polite person and don’t like confrontations but I keep going over the conversation and I’m really annoyed I didn’t just make an excuse and walk away. It was obvious I didn’t want to get into it but she kept asking. She had this really weird way about her - I gave a short answer and she looked at me in a way to say “continue” if that makes sense? I can’t explain it but it was like “and why…” This bloody stranger wanted to know which school my child is going to, why I made that choice etc. I kept changing the subject and she kept bringing it back.
I don’t want to discuss it so what is a good sentence I could use with people? I’m still hurting over how badly she was bullied and I wish I could just take my son out so I don’t have to see these people. I’m going to wait till he’s year 6 so I can take him out too.
