[stylist] Public and private schools

[LoriStay at aol.com]

you must not be from New York.
The private school I went to was in Baltimore.   After we moved to New York I 
was shifted to public school because no scholarships were available for the 
private schools there.   Our public school class had between thirty and thirty 
five students.   It was the opinion of the teacher and other students that i 
was retarded until my intelligence tests came back.   I was a bit confused, and 
not at the same place mathematically (the public school had learned rote 
multiplication, and I had not.), and a year younger than my classmates because I 
skipped a half year of kindergarten, but not retarded.   I was accused by 
fellow students of cheating on the intelligence tests, which was ridiculous, since 
if my grade was higher than theirs, I definitely hadn't been copying their 
papers.
School was not much fun for me.   I am largely self educated, despite my BA 
and various grad credits.
