When I went to public high school I had many friends who public schooled it the whole way and were brilliant! I had one friend who even got a perfect score on her ACT!<BR/><BR/>The key, I think, is parental involvement. So many parents today think that the school should "raise" their kids, but that is so not the case!<BR/><BR/>When I was in high school, I agree with you, some of my fondest memories are from after school activities: marching band, pep band, and pit orchestra for musicals. What fun!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719570487583403332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172701862506520905.post-24845730785602215632008-08-28T07:48:00.000-05:002008-08-28T07:48:00.000-05:00I went to public school.

I graduated in 1974. My brother graduated three years later. The whole system had changed dramatically by then. He did not have the opportunities that I had enjoyed.<BR/><BR/>When I got to college, I realized that my "big city" public school had better prepared me for college than many of the "small town" schools had prepared some of my classmates. It was a revelation. <BR/><BR/>I had good teachers, but my fondest memories of school life mostly happened after school - plays and stage crew, football and basketball games, Junior Achievement, newspaper staff, art projects.<BR/><BR/>It's great to hear that your home school life offered social and learning opportunities outside the classroom, too. I'm glad it worked out so well for you.Gluten free Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011722779155029225noreply@blogger.com
