I went to a public school for grades 1-5. In the 6th grade, I was placed in a private school. Keep in mind that I was in school in the late 60's and desegregation of the schools came to pass and although there was a school 2 blocks from my house that I had been attending, I was going to be bussed 9 miles out into the country to help to balance the white/black ratio (at least this is what was explained to me at the time, by my parents). I stayed at the private school through graduation from high school, and then went on to a state supported university in SC.

My daughter and stepchildren are students in the public school system, now.
