what? no air conditioning?!

As I'm sitting here in class, I just had a conversation about public schools with the people sitting next to me. It really struck me when one of them was really worried and distraught when they heard that the public school they're taking their SAT test at might not have air conditioned rooms. It was a little shocking to see how much they cared about how hot or cold the room is when they take their test. I guess if you've been at this school for such a long time, you can't imagine walking into a hot classroom with only two ceiling fans set on low to cool the room, but I went to a public elementary school, so I can really tell the difference between the types of students that go to private or public schools.

You could call us private school students stuck up, and go right ahead because we pretty much are compared to public school students. And public school students are more...laidback? I hate to admit it, but the stereotypes given to both private and public school students are pretty much accurate.
