In England-
Public and Private schools are the SAME THING
In the States, I believe, Public School is the same as an English Comprehensive School (free)
I go to my local comprehensive school, which goes by the optimistic name of Appleby Grammar School. It's not actually a Grammar School, as it is free and not selective.
Ahhh, secondary school. Bliss. Teenage pregnancies, plague ridden toilets, townies everywhere...
No plague here, but the toilets flood regularly.
Once we found a beanie baby down a toilet. That was disturbing. o.o.
Do you remember those little alien babies that came in eggs? We stuck one to the Science lab ceiling in Year 7 and it's been there ever since. We call it Winifred.

They were bizarre...

I never had one of those, everyone else did, although I didn't really feel left out. In our toilets, there was a great big crack down the side of one of the toilets in a cubicle, but you couldn't really see it. And somebody flushed it, and all the water came out of the side of the toilet. That was funny! Everyone just shouted loudly

Very. I think I thought they were so bizarre, that I had to have one. I don't know. I read in a newspaper once that someone saw one on the street and they thought it was an unborn foetus or embryo or something and told the police and stuff. *shrug*

I couldn't actually do much with a yoyo. And I still have some Pokemon cards.

ahhh, don't be ashamed, everybody had them. I used to be hooked on pokemon and digimon, but then I realised the errors of my ways.
