Well, I'm no mathematician but if memory serves, ten times precious
little is damning with faint praise. But, to answer what we both
think may be your question, yes, I have been to privately owned,
funded, and operated schools. What I've found they ALL have in common
is not only that I eventually left all of them, but also that they
have precisely that in common with all of the publicly owned, funded,
and operated institutions of learning that I have visited. Of course,
it need scarcely be pointed out that there are many of both sorts I
have not yet graced or defiled with my presence.

Strange world, ainna?

Meanwhile, for what little it's worth, the majority of educational
institutions I've been enrolled at were of the public sort. It should
hardly be necessary to point out that neither they nor I go out of our
way to offer unsolicited advertisements of our association. On the
other hand, none of us has, to the best of my knowledge, ever
categorically denied affiliation.

Does any of this help?

Hi Giles,

Your weaved, and darted, hit a few curbs, ran off in the
ditch a few times, hit a squires or two, but you eventually
it get there. Yes it does help.

I thought of my (non-college) educations as compulsory
day care and did not care for it too much. I did home
work three time in four years of public high school and got
an A- average. Such is the quality of public education.

Boy did I have a real awakening when I hit college, where I
also got an A- average. This time it was real. In engineering
too, not basket weaving. I worked my ass off to make up for
all the goofing off in public high school. The lack of
phonics, which was taught for hundreds of years, because
it worked, before "Hooked on Phonics" hit the scene,
still haunts me to this day. (Ye gads, what a run on sentence.)

By the way, it sounds like you were no stranger to detention.
Just in case you were wondering, it wasn't me that ratted
you out for throwing the squirrel into the teachers lounge
at lunch. Really. Trust me. Perhaps.

Note to the humor impaired: I do not really think Giles
threw a squirrel into the teachers lounge. Nor do I have
any actual knowledge of Giles ever being sent to detention.
And besides, everyone knows it wasn't a squirrel. It
was an excessively large chipmunk.

Yo Todd!

Why the fu** would you try to reason w a goat.

A goat eats, licks their organs - and then they mount other goats from
the rear
Giles goatboy is no different.
He would probably prefer to mount you as he is quite a randy goat.
I know, I owned a few goats - Nubians
