I went to public, had friends who went to private Catholic school, and I found that they were worse then I was.

My daughter is so unsure about the schools she is thinking of homeschooling Seyhan.

Ocean said:

No?! Why not?! U do an awesome job with it.

I went to a Catholic school for grades 1 though 8, and public school for grades 9 through 12. Neither were pleasant experiences for me.

I went to private (Catholic) school up to 8th grade and then went to a public high school....I MUCH prefered the public school!

BUT! I should say, the high school I went to was kind of special since its not a zone school (its public, but not everyone gets in)
and evidently, its the only all-female public school left in America

I've noticed this too

Me: 8 years of Catholic grammar school (K-8); Public school for my high school years...

Kids: various public, magnet, and now a charter school...luckily, I've been in places that placed great emphasis on education (thanks, Army!!), so my kids have gotten good schooling everywhere I've been stationed...

Thanks guys...I have an appointment/interview with a private school (with Taylor) ....next Thursday ...Im going to go along and see what I think and make a better informed decision then...
I am leaning more to the private though....

We had the interview for the private school this morning.....she got offered a position straight away

I have grave fears for Tyryn getting in though ....had a note home from the teacher yesterday saying he was heating up paper clips by rubbing them on the concrete...and then burning other kids (boy did I give him a telling off....although it sounds like a typical boy thing to do )

Ocean said:

Good on Her! She so unlike Her Mother!

Amaxx said:

Yeah ..Tyryn takes after me ..so look out or I'll burn ur arse

Ocean said:

U wish Lady! maybe He was exacting revenge on the kids that gave him a hard time about the cat! Good Boy!

Private school. Definitely. The Public school systems are fucked up. Teachers striking every few weeks.

not sure, the primary school had 2 nuns in it - the head mistress and Sister Kathleen who taught maths.
I think the high school had some connection with marist brothers or something, but I never saw one

ZombieKitten said:

My everlasting memory from that school is getting kicked out of the altar boys for leading a rebellion against the new altar boy supervisor...

...and of getting 5 whacks on the hand with a 2 x 1/8 IRON RULER for being a smart ass....

I think our school was rather progressive

I was in first grade in 1973....progressiveness was a relative term....

I spent K-12 in a suburban public school district. There was low-level socioeconomic tension between the haves and have-nots, and slight cultural growing pains amid mostly Jewish older families and very diverse newer families moving into the neighborhood. Overall, though, I think the heterogeneity of my childhood environment and the witness to cultural interactions that made it work were perhaps the most illuminating things in my entire life.
