[quote=Anonymous]I went to an evangelical Christian school K-12 and learned next to nothing.  I had smart parents but their main concern was shielding my brother and I from the "evils" of public school kids. 
I did very well on the SAT (national merit finalist) and went on to a competitive college as a pre-med major where I BOMBED freshman chemistry and physics because I had never seen ANY of it before (while it was complete review for the 
rest of my classmates who came from strong publics school AP programs). Of course I had received straight A's in these classes at my Christian school. 
We basically did NOTHING at this high school.  I had no idea it wasn't the norm and my parents assumed the school was teaching us what we needed to know.  They both worked long
hours so they weren't around to micromanage my school work.  And I was a "straight A student" so they figured it must be okay.

When I get together with my high school friends we still talk about this to this day.  How we learned absolutely ZERO in high school except a whole lot of legalistic bible teaching.  I send my kids 
to very strong public school as does everyone I know from my high school.  [/quote]
