All jokes about mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and the solving for area under the curve aside, I felt fine when it came to being prepared for a university out of high school, and so did everyone I personally knew

Not sure where these mystery public schools that are teaching kids how to roll their own shit into little balls and eat it exist

The only downside that I see to public schools is that they are pushing the socially maladapted and slacker kids with dozens of absences through the grades and passing them to have a better quota

Eh, I went to an elementary school in what was a crap school district, though I didn't know that at the time. I was actually in the "gifted" program all the way through 6th grade, but the we moved and when I started at my new school it turned out I was below what they considered 4th grade education, so I had to spend a year in remedial class to get caught up. Point is the quality of schools vary widely from state to state or even district to district, so your experience and that of a kid the next town over can be wildly different.
