I'm just glad I had the chance to get into a private school when I did. Interesting thing about private schools: The student population is a mix of punk kids who's parents confused private schools for a military acadamy, super rich kids, and middle class nerds who were sent to private school to get away from bullies and the like. I was one of the latter. As a strange result, the whole social grouping is very weird there and so people actually end up respecting each other, especially in a really small school where one can't afford to hate anyone.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
