Small Private Vs. Big Public

Personally, I have experience with both, I've been to a big pubic school, and I have (and currently) go to a small private school. There is an obvious difference with the 2 types of schools, for me, the biggest difference is the teachers. I went to a big public elementary school for a few years when I lived San Diego, I really don't have any complaints about it, except that the teachers were very nonchalant. The first few years that one is in school builds a foundation for one. I had friends and it was fun and it was including, the social aspect was great, the education part, not so much. Looking back on it, I barely learned anything, I will always remember my 3rd grade teacher, she was not my favorite, to say the least, I remember asking for help on this worksheet, and I really didn't learn it and my classmates didn't either, and she gave me this look like, "What? How do you not know this???". She said that I should know this and didn't help me, that was the beginning of my downfall in school. After that little situation, I didn't ask questions or get help in her class, I really did not like her, that is the worst thing when you hate your teacher, your teacher hates you, and you don't understand what you're learning. Oh, also I was in a class of 35 other kids that didn't know anything either. After that, I had transferred to a private school, I had never been to a private school before that. I had to wear uniforms at my new school and I noticed that when I shadowed the school, they were allowed to take their books home, something my old public school didn't allow. The first day of my new school I had only about 14 other kids in the class, it was very nice to have a small classes, I felt I could be friends with all my classmates and learn. My teacher was very nice too. However, 2 weeks into school, the academic part of school was in full force, and I was very, very behind. I never had homework before and I had never had the work like I had here, I was having 1 hour of homework a night, crazy! Lets just say my grades suffered a bit. The high school I am at now, is great. I love it, socially and academically.I keep who I hangout with small, that doesn't mean that I'm not nice to others, or that I don't hangout with anyone that aren't my friends, I just like my close friends and I don't open up to just anyone who talks to me. I just want to be a person who can be there for others if they feel lonely or sad. I have personally been trying to be a better person by not gossiping or bad mouthing people, and to tell others to knock it off if I hear someone saying bad things about others. Bullying, is something that I've seen too much, not so much on me, but to others, and I don't to be in any part of it, except to stop it. On a happier note, teachers at my school are great, I feel I can ask questions to any of them, and they will make themselves available, this is how school should be. I have the best grades I have ever had, and I hope I can finish off high school with all A's. I have learned a lot with changing schools, and my key for success is to have a small group of true, good friends, and asking questions to your teachers. I am not bashing big public schools, for me private small schools just help me do better. I forgot to mention, the high school in San Diego that I might've gone to, has over 3000+ people, thats not a bad thing, my friends that do go there, do very well, for me my ADHD would be so bad that I couldn't focus for a minute. Not all schools are like how I described, this is just my personal experience. I hope you have a good high school experience if you are in high school currently, don't worry about what some random has to say about you, there probably just jealous or envious of you, thats one of the best ways to look at it.
