Public my entire life. Parents flirted with the idea of sending me to private in the states (some effed up Gossip Girl?) if we ever won the lottery. Too late now.

You listened to a couple of students talk about being home schooled and assume that there are lots of them at your school?

I suppose I was autodidact-homeschooled, then essentially 'unschooled.' I took two classes at a public high school.
Why are you so surprised?

I was homeschooled for 1st grade, public 2nd through 5th, home for two years (6-8) and then full time college.
It worked out OK.
The one thing I really regret is that I never really learned to study, but it's not like public schools would have been any better. At least I wasn't continuously bored like I would have been in a public middle/high school.

What's so weird about that? Think that the parents are dumb or something? 😉
FWIW, I was homeschooled mostly, I took some post-secondary stuff during my last 2 years of high school. Got my college calc 1, physics, history, english, and some stuff like that out of the way. It has made for a lighter workload at college, I haven't had more than 13 hours per semester which is nice. Normal for my degree is between 16 and 18.

I was private schooled through 3rd grade, then homeschooled 4th-middle of 7th and the rest was public
I hated homeschooling.. but I did do a lot of reading.

I went to a private school for grades K-6. For grades 7-12 went to public school.
When I got to public school in the 7th grade I aced every class with ease. My teachers thought I was a prodigy when in fact back in private school I was a B student, public school was just that awful. School administrators wanted to skip me to the 8th grade immediately and put me in "advanced" classes. My parents wouldn't allow it. Most of what we "learned" in the 7th and 8th grade I had learned in the 3rd and 4th grade in private school. We started pre-algebra in the 5th grade in private school. I didn't take algebra of any kind again until I got to high school in the public system.
I have a son on the way (due in January). There is no way he will be attending any government run public school. I can deal with deprogramming any religion taught to him, I managed to keep from being swayed by it so can my son.
It's no wonder Americans are ranked so low in education, our public schools are horrible. Money isn't the problem.
