<p>I definitely agree with you, notanengineer. I have definite interests, but only because of very few teachers that dared to push me, as well as my friends that like to think and learn as much as I do. </p>
<p>As far as the private school thing goes, I would say that someone who went to a private school probably got a better education than someone who went to public school. I went to private school for 3 years in elementary school, which put me ahead when I started public middle school in 6th grade, but in 8th grade, I met a large group of students who came from a K-7 school. Their minds were obviously expanded far beyond mine. I think education could definitely be proved, as long as funding isn’t cut.</p>
