i went to a public school for about 7 years, but for the past 4 years, i've been going to a private school. and the education is much different. the things we learn and books we read are at a college level, and the teachers do a fantastic job teaching us this advanced material. and at public school, i could pretty much sleep through all my classes and get straight A's. so it was a pretty hard transition, but completely worth it.maybe i just went to a bad public school. and maybe not all private schools are like mine, but in my case, private school supplies a better education.
