Mainstream Education

From Kindergarten to 8th grade I went to a private school. The reason my parents gave me seemed like good ones. Not only did they want to monitor what I was being taught but they also felt that it might give me a better, more rounded education. The school was a very small Christian school, my class fluctuated from 8 to 12 people throughout the 9 years, so I did get a very personal education. The teachers had time to help students individually, they seemed to know where everyone needed help. But when I got to the public high school, I was socially unprepared. I was able to adjust to my surroundings and at graduation I felt ready for the real world. For the most part, my education got me through. I of course need to learn more, who doesn't. But I made it through. Now looking back, I realize especially reading this article, that if I would have been educated completely in a private school I would have been given a very fuzzy image of what the world was like.
