[quote=Anonymous]I went to private school for a few years during middle school and hated it because all my friends were scattered all over town.  I could tell my parents hated schelping me all over for birthday parties and sleepovers.  Also, my mom was a SAHM and I could tell it was awkward for her to schedule activities with the other kids' nannies.  Most of my friends also had WAY more money than us even though we were comfortable UMC by any standard.

Then we moved out of state and I went to public HS and it was so nice having friends in and around my neighborhood.  And I made friends whose families came from all different backgrounds and SES.

And for a funny anecdote, I went to a big state school in the south.  Did well and scored high on the LSAT.  Top law schools gave me all sorts of scholarship offers and my parents could pick up my living expenses since they didn't. Low a ton of money on tuition for HS/college.  I still remember orientation week when classmates would be telling me about how they had gone to an Ivy for undergrad and yet they ended up at the same school as a first generation college grad from a state school.[/quote]
