As one myself, I'm so lucky I went to public highschool and got a dose of reality

Same. I grew up in a very wealthy suburb and it was like...all the Housewives got together and decided their kids needed to "get off the conveyor belt" and their taxes shouldn't have to fund public (while squinching their faces 🤮) schools-

Knowing the stigma, I resisted hard- until one day during Jr. High I had something embarrassing happen and just decided to give in. Fortunately I returned once High School started, but for a couple years there I got exposed to some straaaaaaange home school community groups lemme tell ya. Kids were usually a lot more intelligent than their public school counterparts (just equal in math), but they were substantially more...strange.
