<p>...questioning the Da Vinci Code = death</p>
<p>When it's impossible avoid dating someone one of your best friends has dated.
When you don't even have a school bus, and parents drive everyone for field trips.
When you only have one sports team for the entire school. </p>
<p>Granted, I went to a Waldorf school with 24 kids in my class for eleven years, so it could be a little different than a regular private school.</p>
<p>You know you're playing a private school basketball team when your school drops over 100 points on them, and then the private school team squeezes out a little over 10.</p>
<p>When you've been with the same kids for six or more years.</p>
<p>cono sadly true</p>
<p>This sounds like my small public school, except for the rich kid stuff.</p>
<p>when you get the entire junior and senior class involved in a shouting game of "six degrees"....and manage to connect every person in both classes in the time span of a single lunch period.</p>
<p>when the aforementioned connections manifest themsevles into a "hookup chart" and you find stacks of copies of said chart in the library...and the teacher's lounge.</p>
<p>you are actually allowed to go into the teacher's lounge to use their fancy color copier.</p>
<p>-during detention your principal brings your burger king
-youve seen only 1 or 2 fights if that
-have a 97 average and just miss the top 10%
-everybody knows everybody
-and you usually dont hear or drug problems</p>

<p>-when every other car in the parking lot is either a Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus.</p>
<p>I went to a private middle school and there was one black kid in our grade of 30. He was adopted...</p>
<p>When you ask to go to the restroom and the teacher gives you their credit card to go buy yourself a portable restroom so you don't have to skip class along with a guitar so you can rock out while sitting on the toilet and an xbox so you don;t get bored while wiping your butt.</p>

<p>say what?!?!</p>
<p>When getting a drink of water consists of buying the bottle, drinking half, and leaving the bottle with the top next to it on a table in the cafeteria. (For more water, you must buy a second water bottle.)</p>
<p>freedomfighterxy: I do that sometimes (not 12 hours) and i go to a very non-competitive pub.</p>
<p>A parent's view here:</p>
<p>1) when you go on a field trip, you ride on a coach bus with a DVD player and bathroom, not on a yellow school bus,
2) your school break is different than public school break, in order to avoid the masses on vacation,
3) your lunch is family style, not cafeteria style,
4) your teachers give you their home phone numbers,
5) your school has to write a note home to tell your parents not to spend over $100 for teachers presents,
6) students' parking lot is closer to the school than teacher's parking lot,
7) you are told to be nice to someone, because his/her parent is going to jail for insider trading,
8) you ask your parents if you could come home on a helicoper instead of a limousine because your friend's parents thought it would be faster,
9) your GC knows which colleges you are accepted to before you do,
10) your GC is able to get you off the waitlist</p>
<p>...when football, soccer, and basketball are the only things that matter: professional, collegiate, and local high school.</p>
<p>My school is a private Christian school where most kids don't talk about their grades as A's, B's, etc. but as passing and failing. Of course, I still love it and plan to graduate from here even though I am a complete nerd who's friends with the drama geeks (YAY drama geeks [of course, our drama program is somewhat underfunded]).</p>
<p>oldfort, most of those are true for the school I go to now. I came from a public school and started at a private day, and was shocked when we took a charter bus to a tennis match that was only a half an hour away. For another match of the same distance, we took this limobus thing. It was great! lol</p>
<p>At my old school we would take a school bus when the band went to an amusement park to play two hours away!</p>
<p>you know you’ve been going to private school your whole life when everyone at your school knows everyone’s business. everyone has straight A’s yet everyone’s a man slut or std infested whores. and all your other friends think of you as “the snob with all the coach stuff that’s just taking up space in the world” all true 
but watever cuz guess who’s the smart one??? MEEE</p>
<p>Damn rich kids.</p>
<p>…they don’t accept credit from another school.
I wanted to take Japanese at my community college (I’m a freshie). I was willing to fill out all the paper work and everything, my parents pretty much agreed, and the school wouldn’t accept the credit :(</p>
