Okay... I went through all three educational possiblities in my 15 year life:

Public School
Homeschooling
Private School

I went to a crappy public school, the school district had tons of money flowing into it, but they had tons of problems despite that. They were always jumping on the bandwagon, having things like "sensitivty classes" (which never worked), and the latest (but not greatest) teaching techiques.


I'm not the "normal" person, nor "average" (I should mention that normal people simply do not exist), and therefore, I got grilled alot by mean kids. Eventully I was pulled out and I was homeschooled by my mom. I liked that better than public school, but yes, I was lacking in alot of social "education." But that was only for a year, and my mom and dad decided they wanted me to be sent to a private Christian school. We toured several local ones, and I liked one alot.
I go there now, it's a 30 minute drive, but they have *better* facilties than most public schools, and they have excellent teachers. And the tution is less than most private schools!

So out of the three, I prefer private Christian schools, because I have friends, and I can get good education (which is God-based)!
