Three questions:

1) when people mention a "private school" what comes to mind?

2) what's public school like?

3) what's homeschooling like?

1) Either lots of girls (Why? I don't know!) in uniforms, or a Jewish school. Or Elizabeth Allen. Anyone know who she is? The Naughtiest Girl?

2) No Clue! But I hope it's not like the books say...

3) I always wanted to try homeschooling! What's it like? Like, your mom/dad/guardian gets people to teach you? Or they themselves teach you? You alone, or with friends? If with friends, do you parents/guardians take turns? How does it all work?? I mean, I suppose it all depends on the person...

1. My 4th grade when I went to a Christian school and learned Spanish after taking 3 years of French, it wasn't that bad except for the fact that I had literally no friends and I just sat in the corner with my books or in my classroom during any breaks that we had. There was a uniform consisting of red, white, navy, or light pink shirts that could either be long or short sleeved and pants/skirts that were navy or khaki. I was one of the kids who would always wear long sleeves and would always wear the khaki pants.

2. It's quite fun, the first thing that comes to mind is that there are no uniforms but that's about it. I've been to so many different schools that I've stopped caring whether the school is private or public, it's just school.

3. I've never been homeschooled, though I imagine that it's very fun and that you probably have more free time than you would do otherwise

1) My school. The only big differences between public and private schools are the uniforms (I hate uniforms), class sizes, and districts. If you think that everyone who goes to a private school is studious and obedient, then you've never seen the kids in my grade. Honestly, they probably do worse stuff than lots of public schoolers would ever dream of.

2) couldn't say, I dont go to one.

3) again, no clue.

1b) again, my school. Mainly, Religion class and weekly Adoration. Actually, my school's Catholic rather than the more broad Christian, but I imagine they aren't too different.

1c) I'm not sure what difference the word 'classic' makes...

Classical education is taking after the Greeks' and Romans' educational methods, I guess? Like, we have the Trivium: logic, grammar, and rhetoric . . It's kinda hard to explain. Also you are So Right private Christian school r not all well behaved at all . . If u knew my class . . .

I have attended and do attend a private school and no, not everyone there is rich. (I’m not.) Many private schools have scholarships and stuff like that which is great if you can’t afford it but really love learning. I went to a Montessori school and that is my theory why I like to learn - they don’t have grading, you can learn what you want at your own pace as long as you do the few required lessons, and it’s less structured so you basically get to hang out with your friends all day, even when you’re working. You also have more hands-on lessons which helps you understand and remember things better. Our classes were also multi-age groups, with three grades in one class, so there were more opportunities to make friends across ages. We also only had really about three homework assignments a month (if even that), which gave us time to do what we wanted at home.
