I went to public school up until junior high.

I was at a public school until I was in sixth grade when I moved to New York.

I went to the public schools myself. And they were great for me.

I was born and raised in Maryland and attended the public school system.

I had an Edinburgh, middle-class childhood and a public school education.

I worked in a number of high schools in New York, and I wound up at Stuyvesant High School, which is known nationally for producing brilliant scientists and mathematicians, but I had writing classes. I thought I was teaching. They thought I was teaching, but I was learning.

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 grew up a middle class, colonized child of teachers and librarians and people, women especially, who treasured education.

I was an elementary school teacher.

I went to high school in the highlands of Scotland.
