I went to private school when my parents were struggling and broke as fuck and we basically lived in the hood. It was the cheapest private school in the Bay Area, like 100.00 a month or some shit like that. Anyways, I got a damn better education. Academically, when I made the leap from private to public, I was knocked back about 2 years. I was like damn I studied this shit way the fuck back in the day.
I have seen alot of kids go from private to public schools and they go crazy cause they never had to handle the situation. Drugs, sex, crime, etc. Sometimes it's like little fish in a big pond and the kids can't handle it.
