Now I don't talk abt it at all. Once in awhile, when there is a question on why DS8 is attending higher grade Math, I just reply "They (the teacher/ school) think it's better for him. " and change subject!
Regarding placement I am planning to say this a lot "it's a much better fit for him." People usually don't question anything else...maybe because they are a little unsure about what that means which works for me. DS4 isn't in formal schooling yet, other than a new Montessori program. When a few people have asked him why I moved him I tell them that his last program was great but this program is a better fit for him.
