Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 25, 2012

Uni-purpose rooms.

Did you go to public or private school?

I was a public school kid all the way. So are my kids.

PS elementary- ours doubled up also. Not HS though. Now, our hard earned money goes to build Taj Mahals.

Public

Public school till the age of 15. Then the school of life.

Private school from 4th grade thru 9th, then public from 10 to graduation. HATED public school.

@tony, both. Catholic school k thru 7th, public 8 thru 12th. For the most part, I really missed the Catholic school! My sons went to both also.

We now have one high school, cost us property owners several million to build. It has its own auditorium and gym. But in the merging of the 2 high schools,in their infinite wisdom, the school board didn’t bother to think about the number of kids graduating. As a result, neither the auditorium or gym is large enough to hold everyone, so graduation will be outdoors at the football field!

Public school. And all the schools I went to had separate gyms and auditoriums.

Catholic School which in Philadelphia is a separate category.

Cathloic. Same room was gym, auditorium, held Mass on Sunday. The public school had a bigger gym and an auditorium with seats actually fixed in place on the floor!!!! Also classes about half our size.

I went to private school for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then public until the 10th at which point my mother had enough of the strange goings on and home schooled me the last 2 years.

Yes, Katharine goes to a fancy private school, meets Prince William, & the rest becomes history…

Public school and my 4 kids too. Even college most of them were state, but my oldest boy did bach at Boston U (summa) and Berkley for his masters (where he met wife). 2nd son went to SIU for both and met his wife there too -he had cum lauda for bach and now has PHD in finance all of them doing great. My younger boy just did comunity college and finally got surveyor license, but that is not great now even though he is very accomplished. Daughter is too much a gold digger (sorry to say) and now in 3rd marriage.

Public school all the way. In Michigan (during the good times) there was plenty of money for a separate gym and auditorium in both middle and high schools. Not so in Georgia, where there wasn’t even a break between elementary and high school, and where great football team equaled lousy music and arts facilities.

public – we had a cafenasitorium

Public K-12 and the first years of college, then private where I finished my degree. I have a friend who went to private Catholic school for part of his life, but transferred to public after a nasty experience.
