[QUOTE="donner, post: 1880702, member: 277"] i'll say upfront that i went to a private school from pre-K through high school and i loved it. There are certainly some disadvantages to it, but i was certainly able to do more than i would have been able to at a union or jenks. Because of smaller classes, i was able to do everything from photography and art classes to football and baseball. I recognize i wasn't a good enough athlete to play at the larger schools, but I was able to play at the private school i went to and it was a great experience. Though it isn't the case at all private schools, i also really liked the face that mine didn't require teaching certificates. One of the best language teachers i had was an art history major who lived in spain for three years. Fantastic teacher and knew how to teach spanish but couldn't have been hired at a public school because her diploma said the wrong subject. It may not be for everyone, but i really enjoyed it [/QUOTE]
