What System of Education in America did you attend when you were growing up?

Public school , Indianapolis.
However, in IPS, I was able to attend a Montessori elementary school. (I was "bussed", so I didn't go to my neighborhood school). It was drastically different than regular public schools. In the summer I would go to my neighborhood elementary school and experience the bullshit that was being done to my friends. I was several reading and math levels ahead of my peers.
I then went to Jr. High and Sr High School with Magnet Programs. I took Arabic for 4 years, and vocational electronics. All AP courses through high school. As prepared as I thought I was, I realized that my public school education still wasn't shit compared to some of the rest of the countries better school systems. I struggled in college. I had no computer experience, and that was a huge setback.
Attended Purdue University for 2 years, didn't graduate though. This was 1994....

Won’t disclose all that info.. but definitely had some good teachers( also some idiots) definitely has played a part of my networking.. till this day I bump into some of my classmates and network on certain levels.. various people I know are in the financial district, medical, professors, mta, entertainment, etc.. definitely has given me some connects throughout the city and in some cases out of state..has connected me to diff clientele..etc.. definitely can say I know a bunch of successful bros and sis from my highschool..it pays being a cool individual

My bad my bad

Same here. My HS wasn’t technically one of the “Big Three” (Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, and Stuyvesant”, but it was specialized for a lot of our extra curriculars and D-1 scholarship achievement rate.
it’s likely the same everywhere: the ones who see school for what it is and can persevere, do well.
Salute you, King.

Cleveland public school system.

A and B student all the way until about 10th grade and started getting high and cutting school and getting into trouble. I dropped out of school in 11th grade. Got my GED a year later after my mom encouraged me to do so, with test scores well above average.

I regret dropping out but I've made >$100K per year since about 2015 and I've made some good choices in life after dropping out and I can't complain about how things turned out.

Yeah, I always considered UMD a top notch school. Was going to try and get on their weather program, but after UGA denied me, I didn’t even try.

My current employer is based out of Rockville, but does some contract work at college park for the National Center of Environmental Prediction at College Park. I have a few colleagues there now. They won’t me to move out there, but I can’t justify the cost of living change.

From NC to MD.. yea that’s a huge leap in terms of cost of living. I know alotta people from here who are moving/moved down there and are loving life. Unless there were a significant bump in pay, I’d stay out down there lol

It ain't what they are teaching but what you're willing to learn! Example: I had coaches who taught history that continously warned of the GOP we have today rising to power! History has a way of repeating itself!
