I went to three different private schools. Changing school is bad, causing social rehab

Always day school, living with parents, sometimes a long journey from school
At least I did homework (know as prep) until 7pm at school. That's a long day, and what I see in this country is a 3pm finish. That is sad.

Boarding means like starting uni, I think - living with peers, not family.
I think it's an advantage, being around people of the same age or various years.
Parents often live internationally, earning well, busy, free of looking after kids. Kids get a kind of social advantage - I regret living at home a bit, without siblings.

I get regular promos, merchandise and advertising from my school, getting me to send kids there... oohhh... yeah... I wish so. I don't think any of that will ever happen

I changed schools alot up until highschool.
I liked changing schools because it gave me a chance to try and make a good first impression and make friends--- but I never did.
Kids always hated me.
haha

Day School for me, I suppose. Public school.
Unless I got some sort of... scholarship, my parents wouldn't have had the money to send me to a boarding school-- plus, I had to work.

i grew up in a fairly small town

only one public school system

i went to the same grade school/grammar school from kindergarten through 6th grade

then to the only junior high school in town for grades 7, 8, and 9

then the only high school in town for grades 10, 11, and 12

lived in the same house since birth until i left home soon after that

as a kid, i often WISHED i could move and start over somewhere else where the other kids didn't already have me stuck in their little pigeon hole of who they thought i was

Private school although my dad did take me out of private school at 16 and put me in a public but then I got kicked out of that public school and my mum took the opportunity to sent me back to private school. (my parents were separated they did not agree on anything)

Boarding School Represent!!! It was great to move away from home at 13, even if it did mean living in a convent. ::p:

I went to all public schools, interestingly I'm the only one out of my family who made it all the way through to the end ofHigh School though I was the one who hated it the most.

I went to a terrible public school. The kids were fine, but the actual education was a joke. Everything I learned about history, biology, English and math is 70% self taught. And bare in mind that I know very little of all these things, so go figure.

Only the cooking/baking degree that I got afterward was actually beneficial.
