<p>I was fortunate enough to attend a public school that had even a stronger curriculum than most private schools. Though we weren’t particularly resourceful (Our books are sometimes dilapidated, but we make do. It’s not like the pages are falling out.), our teachers were dedicated, and they cared about us enough to know us.
We never had the issue of teasing because you’re smart. In fact, by making fun of you, we’re essentially praising you.
I’ve never been exposed to schools southeasttitan mentioned, but I never knew high school students could be so shallow. You’d think they would logically want to get out of their slum by trying harder and encouraging others, but I guess it doesn’t work that way…
Our school is the best high school – private or public – in the city. :)</p>
