<p>My son transferred from a private to a state school and I went to two private schools. The one thing that stands out is the type of people that public attracts vs. private. The state school has more of a down to earth and money conscious population. My son got more support from the public school as they helped him tremendously when he had an injury and couldn’t get around campus while the private told him he was pretty much on his own. I have become a fan of public schools in light of our experiences.</p>
