My primary and secondary education was provided by the Highland Park Public School System.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had an Edinburgh, middle-class childhood and a public school education.
I went to high school in the highlands of Scotland.
I had a great education. From kindergarten to John Dewey High School in Coney Island, I am public-school educated.
I attended public school with the same group of kids from K through 12.
My husband was working as principal of an urban transformation high school - the kind of public charter school determined to do whatever it takes to give its mostly minority, low-income student body the education they need and deserve to be successful in life.
I went to public school up until junior high.
I went to the public schools myself. And they were great for me.
I went to big, broken, under-resourced public schools, but we had a real sense of community, because those were days in the '50s and the '60s when every child was under the jurisdiction of every single adult on the block.
My early education was in the public school system of Omaha, where, retrospectively, I realize that my high school training served me in good stead for the basic subjects of mathematics, English, foreign languages and history.
I went to the local schools, the local state primary school, and then to the local grammar school. A secondary school, which technically was an independent school, it was not part of the state educational system.
